Is there wiki software that does concurrent page editing like Google Docs? Open source or commercial.

Google Docs allow two people to edit a document at the same time. Is there wiki software that does the same thing? I haven't seen any. Section editing (ala MediaWiki) is an imperfect but acceptable alternative. Other than Mediawiki I haven't seen any other ones that do section editing. Thanks in advance.
Tip for best answer: M$2.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There are lots of them: they started long before Google docs or the more recent Google sites (from a wiki company they bought)

- Mediawiki is the engine behind Wikimedia, but also http://www.wikimedia.org or http://www.aboutus.org
- One of the best comparison table is the one at http://www.wikimatrix.org/
- There are also lots of wikis listed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software the table covers open source, free and commercial programs.
I have personally used some of them: phpwiki, MidTouch Deki, DokuWiki, Mediawiki...
Out of these, I would distinguish 2 of them:
- Dokuwiki has the uncommon feature of relying on plaintext files rather than a database
- MindTouch (commercial and free) is highly powerful BUT needs C# which forces to have either a Windows-hosted web server or a dedicated Linux system with Mono
I have good experiences with all of them. If you want to smart small, phpwiki and dokuwiki are thous I would personally recommend... but I do not claim these to be the best!

I know two wiki softwares TikiWiki (Tiki) Groupware/CMS (Content Management System) and PHPWiki both are free to download I am not sure if they are open source. Please check them if they suit you.
