Have you checked out making your own wiki site? Wiki.js or xwiki or

All paper, when aged appropriately, becomes irrelevant. So cleaning
off the desk is more of an archaeological dig and disposal than an
archival activity.

Evil thoughts... If I had any power would I actually do it? I doubt
it. Tech staff know how to use it but with administrative non
technical staff, you really do need to train them on software.
Including execs. Especially since millennials and kids don't learn
cursive anymore, nor proper grammar, it's no wonder they can't learn
simple programs. Almost need to make things into a game nowadays for
them to learn.

If it was a file drawer full of paper sketches and little labels on
each folder would that be too hard for them?
If simple things are too hard then change the people instead of the
software. </EvilMode>

OneNote isn't what I'm looking for. Think of a repo of
documentation, howto's faq's articles. All sorts of content for
technical documentation. I'm not looking for something that makes
and stores forms and files. Something that can be indexed and
easily searched, and displayed nicely for the average user. I
mean I literally have people complaining to me that Trello is too
difficult to learn on their own.

I messed with OneNote.....it actually is extremely awesome. I
made a tower info template in 1/2 an hour, I could start slapping
in data in a consistent format very easily. Dragging in pictures,
text, videos, etc is straightforward.
Then I hung up on two things....One was where is stuff actually
stored. It seemed like if I made something, it's stored in my
Microsoft cloud account, and if another guy made something it's
stored in his Microsoft cloud account. If one of us leaves the
data needs to be persistent and stay with the company somehow.
There's probably a way to handle that, but I didn't get as far as
figuring that out.
2nd thing was versions. I had Office 2016, another guy had a
different edition. There were things I made and shared with him
that looked all wrong or non-existent when he viewed them. I
think you'd have to commit to Office365 so everybody would always
be on the same rev. But then I was kinda put off that the issue
came up at all. Suppose I put time into a great looking tower
site doc with drawings and the whole 9 yards. Then I don't need
to look at it again until 2025. Is it gonna be all screwed up now
in the 2025 revision of OneNote?
Convince me it's all gonna be ok and MSFT won't screw me up.

Onenote is what I settled on.

We have a wiki, however I'm looking to upgrade and
provide something a little more user friendly so all the
non technical folks can share documentation. I'm looking
on prem open source something that is NOT wordpress
based. I've seen many CMS' out there but none of them
have the look and feel that we want. It must be simple to
add content such as howto's, guides, faqs etc. All the
documentation a medium sized company growing quickly into
a large company will need. I guess it would be considered
a KMS. It must have a good API.
One system that really piqued my interest is Document360
however it isn't open source, nor on prem and its ungodly
expensive. So if you know something similar please
advise. What do you use?
