Knowledge Management solutions

[Doovde]

Hi all,
I've got a project to source a KnowledgeBase\Knowledge Management solution for a project I'm working on.
Outline Requirements are:

• Browser based UI
• Able to support foreign 'blob' objects in article content e.g. PDF,DOC,JPG etc
• Can be provisioned as a hosted solution
• Granular security model as solution requires a distributed security environment
• Provides portal like views
• Has 'skinnable' UI

Thanks
Any recommendations or ones to avoid are welcomed

Sounds like a wiki to me. We use MediaWiki and it does all you've listed above.

What's MediaWiki like to set up? I'm playing with TikiWiki at the moment & to be honest am not really getting on with it.

not sure to be honest, it's been set up by our web developer. He's not had huge trouble with it but i think one would struggle with little html etc knowledge.

I tried TikiWiki, didn't do it for me.
MediaWiki is the one used on Wikipedia.

I had looked at MediaWiki but after reading the blurb it seemed overkill for something that didn't need to scale over multiple servers etc. Think I'll give it a go this evening.

HTML & tech knowledge isn't a problem. Think I'll check it out.
