In all the tech groups that I have been a part of, some version of Wiki
(some homegrown app before there were Wikis, and Twiki later) has been
in use for collaboration. I actually do believe that it increases
developer productivity. For one thing, it gets rid of Microsoft Word and
often along with it, the suits. It also stops misuse of email, use of
bloatware, etc. Of course, this is not to negate your point, since I am
only talking about techie work and collaboration.
