This just sounds like a Wiki to me, and there are tons of PHP Wikis available. As far as Wikis go, I really like Instiki http://instiki.org (although it's in Ruby, not PHP). While we're talking about Ruby there's also a commercial/hosted service called Basecamp http://basecamphq.com built using Ruby and the Rails framework. You could also bend Textpattern http://textpattern.com (a PHP based Open-source CMS/blog tool which has been in Gamma and RC forever, but is slated for 1.0 in the next few days) into such a beast as well. Actually, Textpattern makes a great candidate because of it's keywords, excerpts and decent searching. I'm managing all my collaborative projects in one of two ways: - basecamp - instiki or some other wiki --- Justin French, Indent.com.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Application Development Graphic Design -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] PHP application for knowledge management?
Hi All, Just wondering if anyone can recommend an open php source application suitable for knowledge management for a small development team? We have 3 coders with different responsibilities, but often have to cover each other if unexpected things happen. We're hoping to implement a knowledge management tool of some sort in which we can store business logic, code snippets, back-end table / stored procedure descriptions and so forth. We're hoping to find something that allows us to extensively categorize / keyword entries, in which content is easy to maintain, expand etc, and which has extensive search capabilities. Our ultimate (if perhaps unlikely) goal is to be able to place a new coder into our environment with a tool that enables him or her to get up to speed with our environment in the shortest time possible. Any suggestions / pointers welcome! Much warmth, planetthoughtful
Re: [PHP] PHP application for knowledge management?
Hi murray, I have used phpBB2, i know, it's a forum application but it does the job of storing information about my projects, the search is pretty cool, it works out of the box for me, maybe it will help you too. http://jonel.road14.com -- I not know English well, but I know 7 computer languages. anonymous On Jan 17, 2005, at 5:08 PM, Murray @ PlanetThoughtful wrote: Hi All, Just wondering if anyone can recommend an open php source application suitable for knowledge management for a small development team?
