I used DokuWiki a bit at GTALUG website, and I sort of like it. One major problem with Word doc is different people have different writing and formatting styles. With DoKuWiki, at least, formatting will be consistent. But, writing in DokuWiki took a little more effort than Word doc. Maybe, because I'm not used to it. I tried to install DokuWiki a while ago, but couldn't. Obviously, I'll try again. :-) Word has searching, and there is only 1 file. Just lots of chapters. -- William Park <opengeometry@yahoo.ca> On Thu, Oct 29, 2020 at 10:38:36PM -0400, John Sellens via talk wrote:

We use a wiki for internal stuffs. Have done so across multiple companies for quite a while.
I would go mad trying to maintain documentation in word/excel. How do you search across all your files? Across platforms?
At my current place, we use dokuwiki, which I find to be a nice combination of features, without a lot of overhead (PHP, files). I even script some reports that insert pages into the wiki nightly.
Previously I've used xwiki (java) which was nice, but as it's java, there's a running (sleeping) process all the time.
People who wish to spend money (from small to large) like confluence. Confluence is very nice, but it helps if you're already hooked into the Atlassian ecosystem.
There are a bunch of alternatives of course, but those are ones that I've found to be good alternatives when I've been looking.
Hope that helps, but seriously, set up a wiki.
Cheers
