You're welcome to look at (and contribute to :) the PerlKB project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/perlkb/ It's still in the fairly early stages right now - most work is on the data store/management than on a web interface. If you are interested, you might also want to look at the template toolkit documentation list - some of the discussion there may affect the PerlKB implementation. My current work on the PerlKB involves categorization of documents and presenting that to the user - should have more on that after next week (deadline for Usenix tech. conference submissions :). Neither of these are ready for production at this point. If you need something *now*, then I'd look elsewhere (not necessarily for non-mod_perl solutions, just not this one). -- James Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED], 979-862-3725 Texas AM CIS Operating Systems Group, Unix
Re: open-source suggestion for a knowledge-base/search engine?
If you may use PostgreSQL as a database engine, there is an OpenFTS (openfts.sourceforge.net). I'm one of the author, so I'm biased a little bit, but we have successfully use it in many projects with close integration with mod_perl (Mason). regards, Oleg On Mon, 12 Nov 2001, Grant Babb wrote: all- In our migration to open-source solutions, I have been asked to suggest a solution for our knowledge base.
