Add your advice or lessons learned below. It would be nice if you'd also include a contact and "I wiki at .." with your comment.

Suggestion Contact (optional)
Give a demo of an existing Wiki
Bring an expert to explain how the collaboration can be improved
Brainstorm with the potential users to understand the apprehensions
Have a clearly defined, relatively narrow and clearly communicated purpose or goal for the wiki. Matt from EditMe
Move some information to the wiki that the group you want to use it relies on. This will get them using it right away. Matt from EditMe
Don't start with a blank slate - but don't create tons of empty pages either. You want to hint at proposed content enough to encourage group members to participate but not overwhelm them with the task. Matt from EditMe
If you add a page, put some content there. Placeholders are frustrating and can make the wiki seem neglected. Matt from EditMe
Remember that if your group isn't web savvy they won't be initially comfortable with the idea of editing a web site, no matter how easy it is. Consider a hands-on training session. Matt from EditMe
