You can try googling DITA for the distributed technical authoring
requirement.
There's also: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/` for rendering to PDF.
Those would be good places to start research.

I work with a group of people and support one of 8+ complex HPC
applications.
We in turn work with 10-30 developers and 100 releases etc. etc.
So we have a pile of information that needs to be shared. Thus most
of this information is in a simple Wiki
But the server is corporate control and due to me migrated to some
new Lotus project etc etc. ( you know were that ends )
So I was thinking of moving the data to a local server that only
our department needs access to.
It needs to be accessed via standard web browser, sharing a txt or
doc file is not going to work.
Here is the real question, is there a web application that in
effect a group of people could use to create a "book"
That is each team create a section on there own product etc. then
this information could be rendered as a PDF?
As a PDF all users could then have an offline version and would be
accessible via any OS or device ( like a pad etc )
Every time I Google this, for book or manual it gives me books or
manuals on web servers, not servers or applications that can create
a pdf document.
A good example would be FLOSS Manuals, but it's not apparent what
software they run or how to duplicate it.
Help!
