Re: Documentation Software

[Tom Jedrzejewicz <tomjedrz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A wiki is a great solution, and I have used them in the past. If the wiki
was not searchable then you probably have the wrong wiki software, some
kind of setup or organization issue on the wiki, or a badly configured web
server.

I like Confluence from Atlassian, but it isn't free. For a small team (10
or less) it's $10/mo or $100/yr for the whole team.  More than 10, and it's
$5/user/mo or $50/user/yr.

There is a pretty well supported open source project called Twiki.

If you are an Office 365 shop, setup a SharePoint site.  SharePoint has a
wiki, it also has file sharing library and basic workflow functionality
should that be helpful.

more trees in America today than we had 100 years ago.
