Possible applications for wikis
Wikis are all-round talents. You can use them for nearly everything. Nevertheless it makes sense to start the pilot phase with a small number of uncontroversial topics.
Concrete suggestions for a pilot phase

- Project management
- Ideas and innovation
- Requirements management
- Reputation and communication
- Skill management
