POWhat's a good solution for collecting business rule documentation?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm running into a situation, common I'm sure, where my business rule documentation is spread across emails, documentation (now out of date) and IMs. This stinks. </p> <p>I can think of 2 alternatives: Sharepoint (hate it, the search feature is terrible) or a wiki. </p> <p>Some things that I'd like to see in the ideal solution: </p> <ul> <li><strong>Easily updateable</strong>: don't make me pull up Word to update the docs</li> <li><strong>Diff view</strong>: Sometimes you only need to see what's new </li> <li><strong>Subscribable</strong>: Notification of new changes on a page by page basis</li> <li><strong>Role based</strong>: Editing and viewing of pages can be tied to roles</li> <li><strong>Attachments</strong>: Easy inclusion of mockups, files etc.</li> <li><strong>Search</strong>: It's a post google world, I want to be able to search and find instantly -- Sharepoint loses in this category, unless the one we use is configured incorrectly</li> <li><strong>Attachment Restriction</strong>: Ideally, the solution would not allow uploading of a bunch of Word docs that we'd then call our documentation. I'd like the documentation to have a consistent (and simple) format. Enforcing attachments as PDF, txt and so on. </li> </ul> <p>Following up on my wiki comment it looks like there are <a href="http://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/Incentive%2BSharePoint-Wiki-Plus%2BThoughtFarmer" rel="noreferrer">at least 3 wikis</a> that do what I want (Incentive, SharePoint-Wiki-Plus, ThoughtFarmer). ThoughtFarmer, love that name. </p>
