Guess that’s what I get for only reading the last 5 emails. My bad.

From: Steven Kenney Sent: Thursday, October 8, 2020 10:12 AM To: af Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Documentation / KB Software 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. logo <https://www.wavedirect.net/> <https://www.facebook.com/ruralhighspeed> <https://www.instagram.com/wave.direct/> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/wavedirect-telecommunication/> <https://twitter.com/wavedirect1> <https://www.youtube.com/user/WaveDirect> STEVEN KENNEY DIRECTOR OF GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY & CONTINUITY A: 158 Erie St. N | Leamington ON E: st...@wavedirect.org | P: 519-737-9283 W: www.wavedirect.net ________________________________ From: "Adam Moffett" <dmmoff...@gmail.com> <mailto:dmmoff...@gmail.com> To: "af" <af@af.afmug.com> <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> Sent: Thursday, October 8, 2020 12:01:14 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Documentation / KB Software If it was a file drawer full of paper sketches and little labels on each folder would that be too hard for them?

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 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.

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.
