Hi all,

What app or platform do you or your company use to share/edit document 
for a group of people?  Main use would be to put all internal 
documentation, comment, discovery, and faq into one location.

 * People say "SharePoint", but never used it myself.
 * We (old job) use to put Word documents on server.  Only one person
   could write to it at a time, but that was okay for the low traffic.
 * Plain HTML file might be okay.  Edit by Notepad++.

Concerning plain HTML via Notepad++: I know nothing about Notepad++,
but in my opinion HTML docs are garbage unless they're true, validated
HTML that will pretty much render identically across all competent
browsers. Otherwise, each browser picks its own way to interpret your
broken HTML, usually resulting in things like item A overwriting item
B, or microscopic fonts or other stuff that hurts readability and even
changes the information conveyed.

I've written extensively about validation
at https://troubleshooters.com/web/validating.htm , 
including installing your own copy of the w3c validator locally,
because the last thing you want to do is send your proprietary docs to
"the cloud" to be validated.

As a practical matter, teaching correct HTML5 and validation to every
employee creating documentation will cause them to come after you with
pitchforks, so much as I love HTML and CSS I'd recommend against HTML
for this particular situation.

As a side matter, if you're interested in making quality HTML with zero
errors and few or no warnings on validation, check out the entirety of
