The Death Star Project 1 : Sharepoint Wiki
Finally I have crossed over to the dark side.After years of MS bashing, I am going to start working on a KM portal,a sort of Wiki, on Documentum(what an irony!) using MS Sharepoint Portal Server at work.This should be exciting.I know a couple of open source CMS that are really light weight and do their job well, but the Powers that be said Sharepoint and mine not to ask why, mine to do and die.
Anyways I looked up for any hints on how to go about building a Sharepoint Wiki.Not too much luck. Fell upon these two links though :

I’ll have to see how this works out, fact of the matter being that I am totally new to Sharepoint and I tend to be slow getting up to speed with MS technologies, DirectX being the exception ofcourse.
I’ll ofcourse share any insights that you guys might find useful in the course of this “crossover”.Watch out for more on this space.And If you have any pointers to share , please go ahead and color my page black and yellow.You are welcome.

I’m in the same situation now as you were back then, and it seems the SharePoint wiki system is very limited in terms of being an actual wiki.
Compared to WikiMedia, SharePoint lacks many crucial document interconnection facilities.
I hope I’m wrong and those links help me out!
