GCIS COMMUNICATIONS TEAM MEETING
April 20, 2006
One of the charges of the Communications group is to develop a system for harvesting, storing, editing and creating documentation. This includes information we write for our own use, internal use, and customer use.
Here are a brief list of requirements for this system (please feel free to expand/edit):
- Must be searchable and sortable by: Topic, keyword, intended user group (internal/external)
- Must be easily accessible from anywhere (on and off campus)
- Must be easily editable by intended editors (permissions and ease of use)
- Must be easily expandible and become a "permanent" place for everything that exists and does not yet exist.
Some suggestions for how this could be done include:
- Oracle Collaboration Suite
- Advantages: Built in powerful search engine, change control/permissions can have web interface to include external users (students/public)
- Wiki (Confluence and [MediaWiki])
- Advantages: Easily modified, scalable, indexed
- Web interface
- Content Management system (Confluence may also fit into this category)
