I've been looking at wiki for edu/gov sites here too. Wikis have been around for a long time, and the Wikipedia with the open editing is just one implementation. They don't have to be completely open editable, most do come with access control features.
Your question though about "building them in CF?" is a bit vague. Are you thinking of developing a wiki app in CF or are you wanting to build a wiki site and you are wondering if there's already a wiki app built for CF? If you're asking as an app developer about building a wiki app using the CF language, I'd say go for it! Brian Shearer has a cfwiki project that he started a few years ago and Reinout Korbee did a variant on it, but there's certainly room for more choices. http://www.cdsi-solutions.com/cfwiki/ If you're a site developer looking for a Wiki solution, there's unfortunately a dearth of robust CF options. I'd say look at all the options regardless of language and pick the one that works best for your end product needs.
