I want to build a web-based knowledge base system for our call center. To save some development time, I am looking for a open source. Does anybody know any good one out there?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

How about one of the many wikis?
Kenny: I've used FlexWiki & ScrewTurn.
someone else with RepPower to edit my post added this.
Wikipedia is powered by MediaWiki.Joel Coehoorn : beat my but 20seconds. deleting my nearly identical answerOlaf : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wikisacrosman : Actually, I'd suggest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wiki_software -
Joel Coehoorn : looks interesting, but fails the open source requirement.
-
Also, consider GForge.

I have used phpMyFAQ and found it to be very good.
John Boker : i too have used it and find it to be acceptable -
I heard of RTFM (The RT FAQ Manager). Never used it, however.

In addition to MediaWiki that was mentioned by Kenny, you might also look at MoinMoin.
Choosing between MediaWiki and MoinMoin can be a bit tough. Here are some points to consider:
MediaWiki
Pros:
- Made for wikipedia, thus is very mature and scalable.
Fairly easy to set up.
Cons:
Made soley for wikipedia. Thus it can be a bit of a pain to customize how you like it.
MoinMoin
Pros:
- Very mature software.
Huge amount of plugins and third party modules available.
Cons:
Can be a pain to install.
There are a huge amount of other wikis available, but those are the main two I would consider.

Thanks everyone!

MindTouch is open source and has a KB add-on. Lots of public sites that use their commercial version (Mozilla, RightScale, Intuit, Palm) and I've seen in their developer community that most of them started w/the open source ver.
