My complaint with a wiki was that it was very clunky to add non-text
content. I like to use a lot of diagrams and photos.
Might give this One Note thing a spin.

I can't say who, but one of the largest last-mile ISPs on the entire
west coast (WA/OR/CA) uses mediawiki for nearly 100% of their internal
documentation. Organized per POP.

Yeah, I think mediawiki is the way to go. I started down that path
once but not being well versed in Linux I stopped. We can get that
implemented.
I just hate losing corporate/institutional memory every time a tech
decides to go to college or go to work for Google/Ebay/Adobe... (we
ain’t called Silicon Slopes for nuthing)

My objection is not about the cost, which is nominal, but about the
principle of going down the path of what can become a
business-critical function offloaded to a third party, where you don't
have full access to your own database/back-end.

Confluence is only $10 for 10 users. That’s my recommendation.

Full mediawiki, the same software that runs the backend of
wikipedia. If you are not a competent Linux sysadmin, you are going
to want to get one to set it up and maintain it. It's vastly more
powerful and extensible than a medium sized ISP could ever need. I
predict we will see people here recommend Confluence and other
commercial solutions, but in my opinion all proper wiki software for
serious use should be composed of 100% BSD, GPL and Apache licensed
software.

I want it to be in wiki format. An ongoing knowledge base. We had
one at a former company and it was great. But I was not the one
that installed it so I don’t know what is involved in that.
