MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group/TechConf Input/Use

Implementing a workflow for document revision
In the past, the "official" documentation for a process was reviewed, sent to a printer, and then sat on shelves.

Wikis offer a speedier way to publish approved documentation and make it easily searchable. Using tools like Page Forms, Approved Revisions, and Semantic MediaWiki, a KM worker created a tool so that the appropriate people can be notified when a change has been made to some previously "approved" documentation so that they can approve the change or roll it back.

They are just rolling out this process, but it offers a way to fuse the approval process of print documentation with the flexibility and find-ability of the wiki.

Technical writing
Writing about hobbyist electronics in music (SDIY wiki). Actually on wiki farm Miraheze now because that takes away a lot of the headache of maintaining the wiki and doesn't have the garish crud that other wiki farms come with.

Wikis as Websites
MediaWiki can very well be used as regular content management system for running and maintaining websites that do not look like wikis for the users. Examples
