OneNote is available to us at work.
Before my arrival, management policy encouraged its use.
Few found it useful.
When I arrived, I started a wiki (bulletin board).
Our developer/qa/... notes are now stored in the wiki.

The current engine is oddmusewiki,
chosen because its only requirement was perl.

I recommend the mediawiki engine over oddmusewiki.
Though mediawiki requires a well-featured LAMP setup,
the wysiwym editting support is worth the cost.

When^H^H^H^H If time permits, I'll upgrade work to use mediawiki.
