I am a huge fan of wiki and have two of them running in my division. 
It is the simplest way to support simple collaboration and distribution
of content authoring to multiple people.  I use one of the wiki clones
but would love to have a zope version for alot of reasons.  It would be
easier to rewrite the wiki using the ZOPE Structured Text tool and the
zope database than to port the python over.  The python source is large
and replicates much of the afore mentioned tools.  It's on my list of
things to do but won't make it to the top in the next 4-5 months :( 
Note that the original wiki is only 500 lines of perl.
