Hi

We use a Subversion repository and store all documents in there (word,  
pdf, text, etc etc).  Our reasoning for using this rather than the  
corporate sharepoint installation or a Wiki is that using a solution  
that requires a functioning network just to access your documentation  
is fundamentally flawed IMHO.  I wanted my team to have access to all  
network doc's on their notebook any time they needed them (i.e. during  
a network outage etc).

There are Mac, Windows and *nix clients.  It's worked very well over  
the years.
