I work with a group of people and support one of 8+ complex HPC

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?
Drupal has a book module baked in which handles the hierarchical
structure - http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/book
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.
You can combine this with the print module
(http://drupal.org/project/print/) to do pdf export.
A good example would be FLOSS Manuals, but it's not apparent what
software they run or how to duplicate it.
You could always ask them.
