[KMDG-L] Collaboration platform

Hello List,

Our library is involved in a pilot project for what may become a campus-wide knowledge management initiative. We're trying to get something up and running quickly. We're contracting for a question-and-answer base service, but we still have to gather the material to go into it. For our knowledge gathering phase, we're looking for an online platform where we can collaboratively create documents (like Google Drive) but with light project management capabilities as well so we can better track approval of content and perhaps other administrative issues. Free would be best. A tall order I know, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Elizabeth Jardine
