The most important difficulty seems to be that there is a paradoxical situation: employees are often hired for their unique abilities and knowledge and they have no fundamental interest to give away this advantage. This is the very general problem "to get the knowledge from the experts". There must be a positive corporate culture or special incentives must exist to create a flow of knowledge into any knowledge management system. This is not a wiki problem. But Wiki provides a clue to possible solutions by its communication culture.

Technically a ProWiki is very suited to the "management" of knowledge especially because

• it is simple to use
• flexible in its orders structures (see OrderAndStructure)
• can be used to store all kind of data documents (see UploadDirectory)
• is fully searchable (FullTextSearch)
• can be structured to allow restricted access (WikiContextuality and WikiFractality)
