Weblogs as Base for Knowledge Management Systems?

Posted by Cliff on Monday June 10, 2002 @06:36PM 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?

  Not quite "dislexic". Dislexics see the letters jumbled up, yours are just backwards.

(sorry if there are any spelling mistakes, My goddamn fonts are broken and I can only read this back in this bizarre roman/metropolis thingy)

May I recommend installing a real operating system like WinXP, instead of a hacked together botch-job that can't even natively support Truetype Fonts.
