You can use OpenOffice.org (OOo) to import/export docs to/from a
MediaWiki.

To export documents to Wiki you can use the Wiki Publisher extension for
OOo: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/wikipublisher
(adds a Send - MediaWiki Server menu item and dialog to help publish the
document on a MediaWiki).

To export from Wiki back to OOo, you can use the Collections Extension:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection

I use both on the OOo Wiki
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page (although I haven't
used the WikiPublisher extension for a while now).  The Collections
extension to export to ODT gets used a lot on the OOo Wiki,and works
quite nicely.
