If they offer wiki-like functionality, however, they might still be worthwhile for organizations.

If your longing for more functionality, I still recommend drupal. It can be customized to make it do exactly what you want. http://www.doitwithdrupal.com/sessions/basecamp-built-drupal http://www.developmentseed.org/blog/2009/jun/17/announcing-open-atrium-open-source-intranet-package-powered-drupal Erin, basecamp is a great tool if it does exactly what you need it to do.

We manage all projects separated by client but easily viewable on the home page (Dashboard). Old projects are archived but can be resurrected. All files, deadlines, messages, etc. are easily found here. Rather than by client, this could easily be used to track projects by department. Hope it helps! Thanks, as always, for the great blog posts. Check out Basecamp: http://www.basecamphq.com/

For the more complex/larger I would recommend using a CMS (Content management system); Drupal is my recommendation ( http://drupal.org/ ), its online community is very alive and friendly.
