No offense intended to any of the involved parties, but I just want to point out that I've seen great ideas suffer "death by committee". Someone becomes a cheerleader trying to get a lot of others involved, nothing happens, then the idea just languishes and eventually dies. What I found myself doing in the past was to just *do* something, then "unveil" it to the others involved. One place where I worked, my 2 biggest contributions which had *the* highest impact on the company in general, I had to quite literally wait for him to be out sick one day so I could disregard what he was telling me (ie, refusing to give me permission to work on what he even acknowledged was a good idea, saying, "Yeah, it's a good idea, but there are more important things I have for you to do..."), just so I could get started on the proof-of-concept version of what I was proposing, then thankfully he was out sick for *another* day so I could polish it somewhat and put some finishing touches on it. Once I already *did* it, the idea took hold, and other departments also started to use it. Now, I have zero idea just how much work is involved in "making" a wiki, but if it's enough for one person to do... hey, have at it. Otherwise, if you end up waiting for a consensus as to which wiki software to use, which site to use, /ad nauseam/, it's likely not going to get done. At least that's been my experience, which is why I, to quote the old saw, "find it easier to ask forgiveness than permission".
