OneNote isn't what I'm looking for. Think of a repo of documentation, howto's 
faq's articles. All sorts of content for technical documentation. I'm not 
looking for something that makes and stores forms and files. Something that can 
be indexed and easily searched, and displayed nicely for the average user. I 
mean I literally have people complaining to me that Trello is too difficult to 
learn on their own.

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.

Onenote is what I settled on.

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?
