If it was a file drawer full of paper sketches and little labels on each
folder would that be too hard for them?
If simple things are too hard then change the people instead of the
software. </EvilMode>

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?
