There are dozens of good open-source wikis available. Getting one set up is generally less than an hour's work.
Getting people to contribute can be a problem, but if the workflow is easy and there are things to document, it will work out.
Cleaning up after the fact is usually a bigger problem. Even with full-text search (a requirement, IMO) a large wiki can become a terrible dump. Library science is a real field, and if you can afford a librarian, you definitely want one.
- cborenstein 6y ago> Getting people to contribute can be a problem This is so spot on. and I don't think it even has to be a problem. The way people actually work is they 1) write a ton of private notes 2) share a small amount of these notes ad-hoc 3) publish a tiny amount of this to a wiki To make knowledge more available, the key is to streamline these steps. Building an app that's grounded in this workflow. Would love to hear the community's feedback on it. [0] https://bytebase.io https://bytebase.io
