Things to think about:


What is the purpose of the wiki? Keep the end in mind.
Design is very important! Keep the clutter down! Architecture- map it out!
Keep it simple the first time.
Be careful with your widgets!
Templates, templates, templates!
Have others take a look at your wiki and comment on it prior to launching it. Feedback is important.
Use it as an opportunity to collaborate!
