[LUNI] Sudoko publisher follows open source model to develop games

[sean-lynch at sean-lynch.com]

Textdrive has cheap shared hosting plans you can install a 
wiki of your choice on.
http://textdrive.com/
They support open source

Since its an intranet, you could probably install your own 
server and host the wiki yourself. That is unless your 
work force is distributed and you don't want to build in 
the large network support.

There are also alternatives. The Chicago company 37 
signals offers sites that allow business collabaration. 
They have some freebies that might give you a way to 
collaborate with something other than a wiki.

The 37 signals stuff is not a wiki, but they strongly 
support open source. They are the company that developed 
Ruby on Rails and released it under the GPL. So its worth 
a look
