| waldo323 | good morning | 12:39 |
|---|---|---|
| rick_h | party | 12:39 |
| waldo323 | does anyone have experience with a good knowledge base software which users actually use and is easy to maintain? | 12:40 |
| widox | morning | 12:41 |
| widox | haha. does such a thing exist?! | 12:41 |
| widox | maybe if you remove the qualifier of "good", email may fit that ;) | 12:42 |
| rick_h | waldo323: all I can say is we're using discourse now as the "new" thing for tracking docs/conversations/knowledge | 12:43 |
| rick_h | working out "ok", not perfect | 12:43 |
| widox | isn't that more of a forum software? | 12:44 |
| rick_h | kind of, you can make "wiki" like setups with it | 12:44 |
| rick_h | and we use it a lot for posting documentation, allowing comments, updating, indexing, etc | 12:45 |
| waldo323 | from my initialy look it definitely looks worth checking to see if it'd fit us | 12:46 |
| widox | huh, ok i havne't seen it used like that | 12:46 |
| rick_h | we've actually got a static generator tool that dumps our docs section out to static html and provides the docs at jaas.ai/docs | 12:46 |
| rick_h | so we edit/track docs in discourse in a "category" there and then they sync out to static pages for indexing and the like | 12:47 |
| widox | oh neat | 12:47 |
| cmaloney | Discourse really hurts my attention | 13:03 |
| cmaloney | I can't really follow conversations on it | 13:04 |
| jrwren | same, bad UI, like all forums | 13:40 |
| greg-g | we use... wait for... mediawiki :P | 14:55 |
| greg-g | *it | 14:55 |
| jrwren | ya don't say? | 14:55 |
| greg-g | if we didn't who would? :) | 14:56 |
| rick_h | greg-g: :) | 15:05 |
| jrwren | i feel like 15yrs ago this would have been much bigger news: https://home.cern/news/news/computing/migrating-open-source-technologies | 16:44 |
| _stink_ | still fun to hear! | 18:41 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I'll never get tired of places moving to OSS | 21:18 |
