Using Blogs to Collect Information
I am experimenting this idea. I have set-up a blog (using Nucleus. This is what I did:
1) Met all the technicians I had to.
2) Told them about how they can provide information now through a browser based 'site' that'd allow them to 'blog' their ideas/suggestions
3)I created user ids for all of them for the Intranet blog and mailed them the same
4) I also told them they can use the 'right-click to blog' idea. Like Blogger, Nucleus offers a 'right-click->Blog this' feature
It's worked out ok for me. I mean not all took to the idea. But some did. That's a start! Have you tried something like that?

Content Management Systems
Here's a list of CMS that I found to be very useful. AND easy to implement.
- Nucleus
- B2
- Drupal
- Envolution
All of the above are PHP/MySQL based. Now, I don't know how to code with PHP nor am a database guru. That must tell you how easy the above tools are to implement. (Disclaimer: that doesn't mean someone who has never seen a computer can implement them, you get the drift?)
For more PHP/MySQL based scripts visit the 'content management' section of hotscripts

Web Writing
From Sun.com:
You can double the usability of your web site by following these guidelines: for two sample sites studied in Sun's Science Office, we improved measured usability by 159% and 124% by rewriting the content according to the guidelines.
Writing for the Web is very different from writing for print:
- 79% of users scan the page instead of reading word-for-word
- Reading from computer screens is 25% slower than from paper
- Web content should have 50% of the word count of its paper equivalent
