here are my points:
in a linear stream, which is not easy. doing it in a CMS system is cumbersome.
in a wiki, you write a concept and if it relates to another, you put in the text [[another concept]]. then, when you submit, you click on the resulting link
in some words, it's an dynamic hypertex system.
in an hypertext, some words are linked to other pages. in a wiki such links are instantly made as of writing, anybody can write and add his part
however the hyper linked page is not created at the moment.
if I can give my opinion, if you try to advocate the wiki (or anything else), it's a good idea to
* give a very short summary like the words here * then list and comment all the problems: some syntax, need help from others, not sure to come, need some administration (vandalism, security, sysops...) * after that, only, list and discuss all the advantages. ease of use, simpleness of basis editing (fixing typos...), ease of collective (team) work... * give a very short conclusion: we can manage the problems and we need the advantages, here is a test site and a short help document (prepare a one page pdf document about wiki syntax)
be short (not more than a half an hour) and you can win :-))
