Hello. I've been trying to build up a knowledge bank for our interaction design dept at work. Right now it's just a few categorized folders on our file server which of course is dead and uninspiring. The content are in various format such as pdfs, ppts, word docs, blogposts (right now printed out as pdf files and not links) etc.
I'm looking for a tool that would support some or all of these needs: - Multicategorizing of content. Multiple folders or tags. It would be nice to classify a resource in multiple ways and not just by subject matter. - Posting. I rather embed a slideshare object than just a link to a file. Would be great if you could have comments so each resource has a thread. Could also be used for just asking everyone for help on a specific problem e.g. "Is this pagination the best choice for this particular case" etc.. We cannot always reach each other physically. - Calendar. We have a lot of breakfasts & workshops that would be good to have in a shared calendar. Could also be used for archiving photos and results from each workshop. - Comments / threads for everything. - Realtime chat. - Alerts. Email notifications when something new is posted. - Permissions / member admin. We have freelancers that come and go that we would like to invite to this. - Blogroll / rss aggregator for our reading list. - Ease of use is crucial. Right now I got my eyes on Basecamp but I would also want to hear your comments. What do you use and recommend for all or some of these needs. Maybe a combination/mashup of tools - any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
