These are the reasons why having a Distributed Wiki would be useful (sorted from the most to the least important):
- No connectivity at all,
- Connectivity is sporadic when the most regular workflow is off-line,
- Save bandwidth on slow connectivity,
- Support distributed workflow in general,
- Support off-line workflow in general.
