How to track questions and answers of a project

Question

I have to work with another developer at a remote office, still within the same corporate network though. I would like to share questions and answers about the project with him, so later we may have a knowledge base or engineering wiki, but I don't want to copy/paste send/reply the questions and answers with email, which is a waste of resource and hard to trace.

I hope we both (and others in the team) refer to a same link, ask question there and see all answers there. Only the team member can read it, since some contents is IP related. One possible solution is to setup a HTTP server, and we all log into this server, and leave our questions and answers there. Is there any easier/better way or simple tools around?

Thank you!

I know there is wiki software around, but it does require some administration.  You could Google.-- Tim WescottWescott Design ServicesDo you need to implement control loops in software?"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" was written for you.See details at

It sounds good. However, it will be even better if it can sit insideof our corporate network, to protect IP further.

You seem to keep boing back to a WIKI, so if you don't want to outsource it, run one internal?

They do make prebuilt systems available for use.

Ie. runup

formatting link

on some vmware server somewhere, and you'll have a preconfigured debian system running TWiki all setup and ready to go for you.

Or deploy TWiki or any of the other wikis on a web server internally for your project.

You may want to check with the IT folks at your company. There is a rather nice infrastructure product called SharePoint that allows the administration to setup "sites" that user groups have memberships in, The local site admin for a "site" can configure pages of the site to contain various types of content including files repositories and discussion groups.
