mediawiki straight up

<a href="http://www.backcountry.com/" title="backcountry.com">We</a backcountry.com> use MediaWiki straight outta the box-- well, okay, we changed the logo to our Goat, and renamed the thing (as in, "go look it up on the Goat"). It's worked wonders. No more MSWord documents flying around, no more revision after revision, no more missing out on the innovation that could come from anywhere.

MediaWiki does have its limitations-- better integration with our sales reports and bugzilla would be great places to start, but we'll crack those soon enough.

Overall, I give it two thumbs up for an intranet. It took one afternoon to install, and 13 months later, we now have 7500 pages of various processes, vendor info, and specs there. Great!
