A Confluence user recently asked about ways to encourage adoption of their Confluence Wiki, which got me thinking about some of the talks and blogs I've been to and read on the subject. Here's a round-up of some of the great presentations, articles and guides that detail tips, tricks and techniques to help drive take-up of your Wiki.

A video and talk showing that if you really get creative you can encourage adoption of your Wiki and have fun too.

3. Atlassian's Matt Hodges' round-up of case-studies and links to encourage Confluence adoption[3]
