We are getting ready to embark on a close study of the use of wikis in teams as a collaborative platform. In preparation, I have been gathering some scholarly work and case studies on wikis, tagging them wikistudies in del.icio.us.
I'd appreciate it (if you are so interested) if you'd take a look at what I have found, and let me know if I am missing anything important. Thanks!
Elizabeth, I can't find your wiki repository, but you may want to look at the post I put up a few days ago on wiki's - and in particular check out the white paper by Espen Anderson of the Norwegian School of Management

I'll throw my own blog into the ring ( http://www.wikithat.com ). One of the topics you may be interested in for your project is my 'Wiki Of The Week' section. Basically I critique wikis I've randomly found for the benefit of wiki newbies who are looking for ways to start successful wikis. I also have some 'Practical Practices' posts out there.

Elizabeth,
I'd be happy to put you in touch with some of our members who are doing interesting work on their wikis. There are some good stories to tell especially around ease of use and low barriers to entry for small groups like non-profit working groups and classrooms.
Look forward to seeing the results of your work in any case.
