I am guilty of being more of a consumer of wiki's than a contributor, but coming from the technical side of things, I could see using them for technical subjects.  Since I am not a contributor, I do not know how well they handle document collaboration.  It seems most wikis expose what would be the contents of a document as the wiki post itself, that way authors can contribute to parts without having to version control the entire subject.  For developers, technical discussions are handled separately from the code, which is version controlled with check-out or merge capabilities.

It seems a wiki would be useful, at least for the technical folks.  It could provide a mechanism to gather our knowledge on tools, techniques, and solutions.  Even for that knowledge that could be Googled, it would be a good place to distill the best and most useful links.  For the software that we produce, it would provide a good mechanism to implement FAQs and bug handling.
