Wikis have an advantage over Google Docs in that people my sign up to be members without needing an invitation. So, people interested in a particular subject can congregate and "make new friends" without needing to already be in an "inner circle".
However, with this advantage comes the other side of the knife edge. There is a potential for unwanted posts & changes to be made. Internet "graffiti" can run rampant on wikis whilst being all but nonexistant on "invitation only" Google Docs.
Moderating a wiki takes a higher level of monitering. However, it allows for a greater number of "strangers with common interests" to share and learn.
6 of 1, half a dozen of the other I suppose...
