[consulting] Example of Collaborative Knowledgebase Sites?

[George]

i still think a wiki is the answer. no software will be able to take 
meandering conversations and fit them into useful categories, that's 
what people / secretaries do. 'some social networking'? why? because 
it's cool? because it's part of their plan? do they even understand why 
social networking is and isn't? anyway, wiki's!
