Document management is one thing that Wikis don't do well. They don't
search arbitrary documents. They don't index and cross-reference
arbitrary documents. Getting arbitrary documents back out of a Wiki is
a tedious process. Certainly, you can hack and coerce a wiki into doing
something that approximates document management -- but that's a big
clue-by-four. If you have to hack and coerce the software to do what
you want then it's a bad tool for what you want to do.

Rich Braun makes an interesting suggestion with Wordpress. A key
difference between DMS and CMS is that DMS is all about document
storage and retrieval while CMS is all about publishing.

Which takes me back to the point I made previously: you need a
strategy.
