I'm working on a list of testimonials of corporate users of MediaWiki. The first one, from Novell, can be seen at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sites_using_MediaWiki/corporate
I've contacted most of the other companies in the list (I haven't found someone to talk to at AOL yet, which was listed as a MediaWiki user, hence I have removed it pending verification). I don't expect many responses, but if we get 3-4 testimonials in the end, I'll already be happy.
If your company uses MediaWiki, please send me a quick e-mail, or feel free to post a testimonial publicly. What I'm looking for are one paragraph summaries of how different companies are using the software, in addition to brief company profiles. Extensive case studies would also be cool, of course, if you're happy to put them under the GFDL.
Cheers,
Erik
Hello Erik, I'm not sure if were either big or corporate enough, but let's see:
We at FZI (http://www.fzi.de) use MediaWiki extensively. It is our intranet and links to all other relevant sites. Since we use the Semantic MediaWiki (http://wiki.ontoworld.org) extension, we also use it as our central staff register. Address lists and such are generated automatically by embedded queries. We manage our weekly research meeting, regulations, technical explanations, holidays, travels, ideas, special interest groups, everything. As we are in close contact to the institute at AIFB (http://aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de), that resides at a different location, it's really helpful to have this shared information space.
Our stats: There have been a total of 10,535 page views, and 2,570 page edits since the wiki was setup. That comes to 1.01 average edits per page, and 4.10 views per edit. There are 70 registered users, of which 7 (or 10.00%) are administrators (see Project:Administrators).
Kind regards,
Max Völkel -- Dipl.-Inform. Max Völkel, Universität Karlsruhe / FZI nepomuk.semanticdesktop.org voelkel@fzi.de +49 721 9654-854 www.xam.de

Hi Max,
FZI ist nicht for-profit, oder? Ich mache eine separate Liste für "Institutions".
Kannst Du mir ein kurzes (ca. 1 Absatz), englichsprachiges Profil von FZI schicken, und vielleicht noch ein bisschen zu Deiner Person?
Dank & Gruß
Erik

Perhaps the text of the tesimonials would make a nice montage background for a poster listing the 'institutional wiki use' sessions at Wikimania...
