We been using a Java based Wiki called Very Quick Wiki with Websphere v6.0 on our iSeries system and it's been working pretty good for us so far, but we've only been using it for about eight months. Their editing and search features are pretty good. So far it's been a trial to get people to format things properly, but that's the beauty of Wiki's, their free and anyone can edit and clean things up. The only problem is that it's difficult to lock down pages you don't want changed.

Their web site is:

We're considering switching to MediaWiki (which powers Wikipedia) when we get PHP up to speed on our iSeries. It'll solve our locking page problem and it has much more robust linking and template options.

It appears that the brown stuff has finally hit the fan, and someone is
getting serious about having a place for systems and "repair"
documentation, and making documentation a top priority, i.e., "You WILL
document what you have found out."

So, I have read some stuff about Wiki and having it as a data store. Is
this a good way to handle this kind of information? What do you consider
the best method? M$FT is coming out with a new inter-office
communications package "Sharepoint". Would that work for this? We have a
package called Niku that could do it, and another called Magic... But
there are too many possible places, and the net effect seems to be that
you can't find anything, and up until now, it wasn't required that it be
kept up to date.

The folks on this forum are the ones that I want to hear from - based on
what I have been reading ...
Thank you for your ideas,

Dave
