KBPublisher - open-source Knowledge Base software

KBPublisherAt one time or another, every company I've ever worked for has said "we should really build a knowledge base on that topic", or something to that effect. And inevitably they did, with good and not-so-good results. It's too bad that I didn't know about KBPublisher back then, that's for sure. Some of the home-grown "solutions" were so bad that you'd be lucky to find any of the useful information that was surely in them.

KBPublisher is an open-source project to build a knowledge base, or FAQ content management system that can be used on any website. Here's a quick list of features it offers:
  • Unlimited Categories
  • Glossary Terms
  • Powerful WYSIWYG
  • Instant Response
  • Searching
  • Add attachments
  • Five different admin roles
  • Protect categories
  • Commenting / Rating / Send to friend
  • Users can ask questions
  • Related Articles
  • RSS
The back end of KBPublisher can use either Linux, Unix or Windows, on Apache or IIS, but requires MySQL 4.0 or better and PHP 4.3 - 5.1.4.
