[12:39] <waldo323> good morning
[12:39] <rick_h> party
[12:40] <waldo323> does anyone have experience with a good knowledge base software which users actually use and is easy to maintain?
[12:41] <widox> morning
[12:41] <widox> haha. does such a thing exist?!
[12:42] <widox> maybe if you remove the qualifier of "good", email may fit that ;)
[12:43] <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
[12:44] <widox> isn't that more of a forum software?
[12:44] <rick_h> kind of, you can make "wiki" like setups with it
[12:45] <rick_h> and we use it a lot for posting documentation, allowing comments, updating, indexing, etc
[12:46] <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
[12:47] <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
[13:03] <cmaloney> Discourse really hurts my attention
[13:04] <cmaloney> I can't really follow conversations on it
[13:40] <jrwren> same, bad UI, like all forums
[14:55] <greg-g> we use... wait for... mediawiki :P
[14:55] <greg-g> *it
[14:55] <jrwren> ya don't say?
[14:56] <greg-g> if we didn't who would? :)
[15:05] <rick_h> greg-g:  :)
[16:44] <jrwren> i feel like 15yrs ago this would have been much bigger news: https://home.cern/news/news/computing/migrating-open-source-technologies
[18:41] <_stink_> still fun to hear!
[21:18] <cmaloney> Yeah, I'll never get tired of places moving to OSS
