hi

There are several that would do what you want. I would go for the simplicity of the CGI module myself. It seems more complicated than it is.

Have you considered the use of a wiki for this purpose? Direct publishing, approvals, and perl module based cgi limit the number of options available.

I would suggest KwikiKwiki which is perhaps the simplest to install, most modular, and easiest to extend Wiki.

Of course, many, many more options are available for your review.

For example, building a useful knowledge base.

You should first inform about this structure. Then plan your data collection. Every submiter might also create a collection of words that would help indexing correctly your help files. You should also have some pre-defined sections for your own classification.

Later, your help files might get instantly translated into PDF files, in order to make searchings inside those books easy for everyone, even if they download those books.

You should also work a little on the CSS template dessign to make them easy & clear to read and attractive to use.
