I think the win would be in making the answers more findable. Confluence is great for writing documents and laying out pages in a hierarchy, but full-text search is still very hit and miss. Especially when you have 50 projects that all have the same keywords and 49 of them are irrelevant.

Or one person calls it "SomeTitle" and someone else only uses "Some Title" and search has no concept those are the same thing.

Citation needed. I use it almost daily and it's essentially write-only and pretty unusably so at that.

Seems like there's no disagreement here :)

Anyway, as I see it, as someone who has written quite enough if it, most software documentation is write-only 99% of the time; but it is occasionally very handy to have that documentation written by the original developers when shit really hits the fan.
