I guess, if I'm proposing it, I'll have to maintain it.  :-)

I'm not talking about massive number of Word/Excel documents, across
multiple directories, filesystems, network shares, multiple versions,
etc.  Our projects are that way, though.  We're Microsoft shop.  For my
need, searching within single file is good enough.  Table of content
will list the chapters, sections, and subsections.

Main problem with "wiki" is the maintenance.  Someone has to maintain
webserver and database.  I barely have time to write the content.  I
mean, it's good way to learn.  But, after a while, you get tired of the
hassle.

I wish "DokuWiki" was single application, just like Wireshark, Words,
Excel, etc.  You click it, and you get its frontpage.  From there, you
write your content, you search, etc.
