Yes. I use them quite a lot for throwing ideas around and gradually
assembling text for documentation purposes. With responsible members of
a writing team you can assemble surprisingly useful stuff over time.
I've always felt it would be good for the LDP to have a few around for
subject specialists and other knowlegable user-folk to contribute to --
in this way we could separate content from markup in the early stages
of putting text together. (I think I even suggested it on this list a
year or so back.)

We could even have a WikiWikiWeb for each document we want to gather
rapid update information on, and then delegate the doc maintainer to
incorporate the information pulled together in this way into the
marked-up version.
Maintainer marks up text; subject specialist provides text; end-user
contributes gotchas experienced. No annoying / time-wasting blurring of
roles. If the published doc is felt to be out of date, then go read
today's up-to-date dynamic version on the WikiWeb pages. And if the
information you want isn't there -- ask for it to be provided.
Cool.

Anyone got a server we could set one up on, just to test the idea out?
[I personally use PHP Wiki, but am not particularly fussed about which
engine is used.]
