Weblogs as Base for Knowledge Management Systems?

Posted by Cliff on from the copting-software-for-a-different-purpose dept.

cpfeifer asks: "I'm joining a small startup that needs a knowledge management solution. I know that 'knowledge management' is seen an empty buzzword, but after working at a company where the communication is very poor, I see the value of allowing folks to post their own news instead of having it filtered through some sort of corporate newsletter. I've seen the commercial portals (Plumtree & others), but after seeing a couple of OSS publication systems (phpNuke, Slash), I think these would fit the bill quite nicely." Aside from some of the basic features found in weblogs (posting, archival, sorting and searching), what else is necessary for the proper maintenance and use of such a system? How hard would it be to adapt existing weblog-ware to this task?

  3. Dyslexic? Fucking LAZY more like! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Dyslexics are nothing more than lazy crybabies who were too stupid to learn anything at school, so had to invent this 'word blindness' condition to make up for their ignorance.

    If you see a dyslexic, shoot the bastard. Get this scum out of our gene pool!
