Are there distributed alternatives to emails which has better support of
structured knowledge management?


*Discourse* forum? https://www.discourse.org/
I've seen some pretty good networking happening on this - ODK Forum
<https://forum.getodk.org/> (for mobile based survey tools) is one example.
It's open source with lot of open integrations
<https://www.discourse.org/integrations> and active coding community
working on it. I've set a test one up recently without too much trouble on
a 4GB hetzner server that costs under rs.1k/mo. You need to map your domain
to it and have smtp email working  - I was able to do it with a bigrock.in
domain. There would be scaling up challenges of course, but can be handled.
(more usage = more capability to ramp up). Search works well.
