I have a quick question, spurred on by Jay's post below..
A client asked me the other day, "what is the best way for a division of a large company to launch and maintain a public wiki, including what is the best software?" I had some ideas, but I would greatly value what others would suggest.

for a hosted wiki solution that provides a fairly granular level of access control, try www.editme.com
Here is a comprehensive listing of Wiki Engines
I know that the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is using Confluence for a "Best Practices" wiki to share information among the 66 chapters.
We've been using PM Wiki for a while on two sites, but are moving on due to security concerns. This has driven me to consider commercial products. At the moment I like Confluence the best. With it I can restrict access by user groups and by pages within the wiki. I also evaluated JotSpot and SocialText.
The one feature I want that I can't find is tight email integration. I want to be able to create or add a wiki page via email, and to have a good quality threaded discussion (forum or board).
If your client is inexperienced, my answer would be to start with blogs before going with a wiki. Administration, architecture, and participation are going to be 100x more difficult on a wiki than on a handful of blogs. Unless, that is, you're dealing with a group that already knows one another and is united in a common purpose.
