A documentation wiki, anyone?

I was intrigued this evening to run across an article involving the
use of OpenOffice Writer with a wiki designed specifically for
documentation.

The article is at
http://applications.linux.com/applications/05/01/10/232235.shtml?tid=49&tid=13

DokuWiki is at http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:dokuwiki

Since the wiki includes the ability to restrict those who can add,
edit or delete to specified users and since it recognizes XHTML, CSS,
and various other standards, I think it might be an interesting
approach for those activities that want to have their documentation on
the Web.

Further, it supports printing and, therefore, it should support fairly
simple .pdf creation as well.

I thought this might be worth looking into, especially for smaller
groups and for Web-based products.
