Meanwhile, MediaWiki is perhaps too powerful and too complex to administer for the small organization. I work with a small group of artists that run a MediaWiki instance and whenever online collaboration has to happen, nobody in this group says "Let's make a wiki page!"
Why not?
That used to happen, but nowadays they go straight to Google Docs.
Oh.
Well, that's bad. But people will choose the wrong tools; I don't think that's evidence that MediaWiki's Broken As Designed.
"Too powerful and complex to administer"?
It needs administration? In a small organization?
I set one up at my previous employers, and used it to take all my notes, which required exactly zero administration: I just slapped it on a box, and I was done.
And my successor is *very* happy about it. :-)
