This actually came from the Key Equipment Finance wiki. We've found it to be pretty good, but not perfect, in a corporate environment. This addressed point #2, and we've used FCKEditor with pretty good success for #1. Many folks would argue there's a #3 (fine-grained security), but I've managed to hold them off on that front thus far.

(The competitor is Confluence. Which is highly usable and an UTTER BASTARD to administer. Though Atlassian are very good at support.)

Yeah. "Fine-grained security" and "wiki" really don't go together. But try convincing people of that.

To be perfectly honest I find *plenty* of situations where I'd like to open up a couple pages of a private workgroup wiki to an additional collaborator without opening up the entire site to them.
It's tough to retrofit this model in reliably, but it's a legitimate use case. Not everything is a public wiki. :)

Oh yeah. But we're at the far end of the wiki-ing curve. In companies, the hard part is getting people to treat a wiki like a wiki in the first place ...
