i did search in Google , but the best i could come up with are OWL

eGroupWare has a "Knowledge Base" as well as a Document Management
component. The KB module itself does not have attachment capability
but you can have the files under the Document Management module and
link to it under KB. Alternately, you could extend the KB code to
allow attachments of your existing docs.
I think you could get an usable system, if you think out the
organization of your KB and Doc. Mgmt. carefully.
My Requirement.
There a bunch of roughly 2000 articles in the form of html, text ,
pdf, and (yes you guessed it) .doc format.
I am also in need of a design idea. what would be an ideal way to
present this to the users.
The main aim is to make this collection highly searchable.
My IT managers are trying to push this whole episode in to getting
us into a quagmire( read : M$ sharepoint ) unless i can come up with
some alternative.
Nothing new, most of them look at short term gain 'coz in the long term
(when the TCO has hit the roof) they have transitioned to some other
job/company.
1)Should i just host a website and use a search engine like perlfect
or something?
2) Does some one have experience with OWL?
A Drupal guy could probably dish a prototype custom KB app. in a month
or two.
3) better yet, did anybody face this situation before? your advice
would be most valuable.
I am proposing eGroupWare's functionality to a client (although his KB
is at much smaller scale).
