In a former life I developed together with a colleague a VBS based Word
to JSPWiki Conververter that ran just fine before management decided to
save as much money as possible despite the risk of desaster problerms.
Personally I find that a Wiki (or something similar with hypertext
capabilities) is the ideal architecture for building a knowledge base by
linking knowledge elements to each other.
I agree with the statement that the information should be hosted near by
the z *and* it should also be accessible in case of an unplanned outage.
A solution that was used in another project was, to place the data on
SMB mounted volumes which could be shared between OMVS and Windoze Servers.
With this it is possbile to access the knowledge base . from a browser
everywhere, provided a http server is installed on both sites.
