Kaiser uses Lotus Notes for some internal information. It's not a good solution - searching is poor, and there's no central index of the various databases.
It's being replaced by Jive Software SBS, branded internally as the KP IdeaBook. It seems to work fairly well. I haven't heard of any efforts to copy information from Lotus Notes into Ideabook (but I'm not involved with the implementation, so I might not hear). There has been an effort by the SAS Institute and the SAS Global Forum board to introduce a wiki for SAS users. It's called < www.sascommunity.org>. There's a fair amount of technical material there, but it has not replaced SAS-L. You might want to look around there to see if members are adopting usage patterns you'd like. I have not found the "shared Windows folder" approach to work well. -- Jack Hamilton Management Information & Analysis Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. 1950 Franklin Street, Oakland, California 94612 +1 510 987-1556 (KP tieline 8-427-1556) NOTE: This email document and attachments are covered by CA Evidence Code §1157 and CA Health and Safety Code §1370.
