I disagree. I think Wikis can be very useful and hardly dawdling--could
actually save time. They can provide a central place to share tips and
tricks, to announce code updates, share code snippets and other
information useful to a team.
What's more when used with an environment like Sharepoint, you can
upload code changes and doc updates and have all the information and
announcements related to a project in a central place.

I've been asked before what I thought about wikis in a software
documentation environment. I suspect that the only reason Anarchipedia
works at all is because there exists a large population of educated
types who are willing to contribute and who are able to do so because
they are writing their entries on someone else's nickel. Probably
university souls who would otherwise be preparing lectures or grading
some of the few papers that students still claim to write. Or maybe they
are just avoiding their tedious chores.
I'm dubious that folks in most development environments have the leisure
to dawdle around in a wiki when they have their own workloads to get
through. Or am I misunderstanding the charm of a wiki? It sounds like a
mechanism to convince other people to do my work.
