There are wikis without edit buttons ;-) Those are typically "closed" wikis...readers don't get to make any edits, just employees. For example, see http://opensource.adobe.com, which is the wiki that Adobe developers use for their source libraries. For a different kind of wiki, check out SwarmSketch at http://swarmsketch.com. The goal is to create a weekly sketch, one line at a time.
