OneNote has also proven to be very useful for us. We use it for traditional Wiki types of things as well as instructions for configuration, etc. as Steve mentioned. The ability to clip information into OneNote (pics, URLs, emails, etc) is tremendous and the searching is very competent. We have used Jira (Confluence) and other more traditional wikis, they are good for very high volume, but have a bigger learning curve in order to get things organized correctly. Our enterprise customers are pretty committed to Jira, but they are also using it for Agile software development in a lot of cases.
Our only concern may be the scalability of OneNote, however we haven’t run into any limitations as of yet. It is a pretty impressive piece of software. We use it for non-wiki types of things, like documenting decisions from meetings and for personal note taking. With the right MS Office license it is free. It is certainly worth taking a look if you have a license for it.

I want to have a quickly searchable database. For example, this morning I have a customer that is having a problem of callers to his house receiving an all circuits busy or re-order tone. I want to be able to search on things like: wireshark SIP filter settings, SIP messages for inbound calls. Things unique to our particular company. Shared notes that are searchable for all. ONT configs, router upgrade notes, info, configs, methods etc etc. I would start with our ServerPlus decision tree and add to it with hints and tips as to how to fix each problem etc. From: Steve Jones Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2018 10:21 AM To: af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT tech wiki OneNote is WAY better for that. thats where I maintain all our documentation. try it out, not the App, the actual program. ive stayed with 2013 because it flows better. It like a digital binder, less restrictive than any wiki i ever met. drag and drop stuff. i embed alot of excel files, they view-able directly and then editable outside the page but save right back. its sexy for ip space management. the only drawback is you can only go like 4 sub pages deep per section. i do job orders for contractors in it and export them as pdf, sexy, all sexy On Sat, Jan 20, 2018 at 11:16 AM, <ch...@wbmfg.com<mailto:ch...@wbmfg.com>> wrote: I want it to be in wiki format.
