I also am looking for something to collect documentation tidbits into a DB that all can contribute to. We do have a need to search and organise though. We are a very small group (6 ppl) and are only doing the occaisional DB updates and compilations. I was considering just writing my own software with PHP/MySQL but found MySQL to be a memory hog so am unsure how that will affect us. We are also somewhat constrained with z/Linux under a z/VM guest.

One of the reasons I despise Wiki for a lot of things is that it has no categorisation generally speaking. Some like Mediawiki at least have good search but its not substitute for structure - either enforced by a good editor or content managers that deal with what/where something belongs. > MediaWiki will run on Debian-390. Is anyone running a Wiki on a mainframe? Is > that a good place to > run one? Its capable of being quite a CPU hog under heavy use. I guess it depends on the userbase. You could always put the db on the mainframe and the engine on a PC I guess Alan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
