BTW, if you have documents that can be viewed on-line, in some easily editable syntax and community editable through BZR, what's the difference with a Wiki? (Except that you can't easily link between documents in BZR, would need to agree on a file format and that you would force anyone wanting to edit a document to install BZR and some editor.)
I've been in the situation in the past where we've had a wiki replaced by the "just as good" alternative. Problem is... a wiki is also very much about the usage and workflow, and even a nicer CMS like Alfresco or such is just not the same.
Smaller bits of information, cross-linking and content evolving over time are a few keys. For the most part if one has an environment where people have to checkout and update documents, then those documents generally end up stale and out of date.
