Is there a web based open source documentation software system that has version control?

by on May 21, 2011

Q: I want a web-based / open-source documentation software which is capable of managing documentation requirements and version control for a medium size team?

I don’t want the more elaborate one ; not asking for cms or other forms of project management functionality i need the software to document and archive the documents…that pretty much it..

thank you

    I’ve had great success using wiki software for this type of thing.

    Here are a few articles with regard to using Confluence a wiki software system targeted for business users:

    Confluence isn’t free but highly recommended: http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/pricing.jsp

    Before we using Confluence we started with MediaWiki (same software that powers wikipedia) http://www.mediawiki.org
