Reminds me that in my past life as a draftsman the engineering firm kept
hard copies of everything in a vault. One of my jobs was make sure the
vault door is shut every night. If your AutoCAD on a floppy disk were
no good anymore you could always go back to the paper version.
I heard a rumor the Russians keep top secret stuff on paper only. No
digital versions. The security is guys with rifles. Russian infantry
are not network enabled and the manufacturer can't install NSA back
doors. If one can't be trusted he can be disappeared.
Makes me wonder if my documentation ought to be sketches in a spiral
notebook. Never obsolete, no compatibility issues.
Damn I'm talkative today.

I messed with OneNote.....it actually is extremely awesome. I made a
tower info template in 1/2 an hour, I could start slapping in data in
a consistent format very easily. Dragging in pictures, text, videos,
etc is straightforward.
Then I hung up on two things....One was where is stuff actually
stored. It seemed like if I made something, it's stored in my
Microsoft cloud account, and if another guy made something it's stored
in his Microsoft cloud account. If one of us leaves the data needs to
be persistent and stay with the company somehow. There's probably a
way to handle that, but I didn't get as far as figuring that out.
2nd thing was versions. I had Office 2016, another guy had a
different edition. There were things I made and shared with him that
looked all wrong or non-existent when he viewed them. I think you'd
have to commit to Office365 so everybody would always be on the same
rev. But then I was kinda put off that the issue came up at all.
Suppose I put time into a great looking tower site doc with drawings
and the whole 9 yards. Then I don't need to look at it again until
2025. Is it gonna be all screwed up now in the 2025 revision of OneNote?
Convince me it's all gonna be ok and MSFT won't screw me up.

We have a wiki, however I'm looking to upgrade and provide
something a little more user friendly so all the non technical
folks can share documentation. I'm looking on prem open source
something that is NOT wordpress based. I've seen many CMS' out
there but none of them have the look and feel that we want. It
must be simple to add content such as howto's, guides, faqs etc.
All the documentation a medium sized company growing quickly into
a large company will need. I guess it would be considered a
KMS. It must have a good API.
One system that really piqued my interest is Document360 however
it isn't open source, nor on prem and its ungodly expensive. So
if you know something similar please advise. What do you use?
