> Finding a way to make this process work without the "I" and credit and 
make it a team effort is the challenge.

Good point, the only answer I can give is: By creating collaborative work. 
Therefore this would need a healthy community.Communication problems can not be 
solved by software.

You should spend some time with team-leaders who have some experience with such 
issues (wikipeidians *might* be nice to talk with, but if you find contact to 
someone how has experiences in establishing intranets in larger companies is a 
good start as well). I had the feeling next to all the shortcomings this world 
has, doing collaborative work in a wiki software like the mediawiki we already 
have (not that it won't need a lot of love) does fairly good work at that end - 
even in the times of today.

I could imagine if the codex wiki had a working editor for example, this would 
engage others to contribute more. That's something I see unfixed for ages. Next 
to that a little CSS touch-up maybe? What should be done first here is to run a 
little usability test iteration over the wiki, because with so light changes 
there you could make a big difference.

And next to that, there is a whole new world to discover. E.g. if you want to 
better structure content I suggest to extend wiki with semantics:

http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms

That can be pretty rocking (and save the project resources while doing the 
redesign, if the current suggestions have not set into stone yet).
