As the most established, well-developed collaboration tool out there, Basecamp embodies what the online collaboration experience should be. After users are invited to the group, work can officially begin as projects are created, modified, and organized in a logical, business-like fashion.

Users can track the amount of time spent on tasks, make comments on other tasks at hand, and most importantly set milestones with estimated timelines for each. I personally love this feature because it helps keep people motivated, while the built-in live chat system (Campfire) ensures everyone is involved. Basecamp is what I would call the leader in the online wiki/collaboration realm, but up-and-comers are innovating as well.
