JotSpot
In this post from Steven Cohen's Library Stuff he mentions that a friend, Andrea, had introduced him to a software called JotSpot. JotSpot provides a hosted service for creating wikis.
Looking at the JotSpot website, I think that JotSpot could do for wikis what hosted software like Blogger has done for weblogs. The ease-of-use functionality (and even the style of the user interface) bear more than a passing resemblance to the Blogger interface.
This would be an excellent service to use for trying out a wiki on a collaborative project. Just look at some of the possible uses for JotSpot listed on the website. More than enough ideas to get the creative juices flowing!

Hi Scott, thanks for your interest in JotSpot. We are definitely aiming for ease of use, so I invite you to get your own beta account and take us for a test drive. You can do this from the "Request Beta" button on our home page. Let me know if I can help.

Scott, another vendor you should take a look at is Seedwiki. I think they are currently the closest to providing a Blogger like experience with a wiki product. A lot of wiki products still suffer from their origins as tools built by technologist for technologists. I founded a company called CustomerVision that sells a wiki designed for use within a corporate environment but I am glad to see people getting their feet wet with an easy to use product like Seedwiki.
