Hi Dan, We have http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Third-party_MediaWiki_users_discussion where we've been discussing some MW user issues, but the dicussion was not focused on corporate per se. We can use the same page or maybe set up a subpage if you think it will be easier. There is also https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Enterprise_hub. If anyone know of another appropriate place, please share.
I would be glad to see such a space set up and discussion going on and would be happy to assist with that.
