In the latter case, we're putting up extra roadblocks for the writer, because then they'll need to spend extra time figuring out where to put their writing in the first place. This is exactly the reason why we build Emvi [1]. I've worked with a lot of different tools and none of them really encouraged people to write stuff down. Not because they weren't easy to get started with, or the editor was bad. I feel lost in a big hierarchical structure and was unsure where to put things. I always had to ask someone where to put a new article or where to find an existing piece of information. So a powerful search and focus on writing instead of organizing folders helps a lot. It still requires discipline and if you want a team to write down as much as possible, you need to build the culture. But if you don't feel you're doing something "wrong" in the first place lowers the barrier. Once you have reached the critical mass of articles and put some tags on them, you will start to see connections automatically. Emvi allows you connect everything via mentions (start typing an @). Check out our upcoming user interface [2], it will take this approach even futher.
