Open Source Documentation Software

BookStack is a free and open source platform for storing and organising information and documentation. A self-hosted and opinionated wiki system, BookStack is simple and easy to use, giving even new users with just basic word-processing skills a pleasant out of the box experience. BookStack offers a relaxed, open and positive approach. While the platform can provide advanced power features to those who want them, it is primarily designed not to be extensible outside of its core purpose. That being said, BookStack already comes with plenty of powerful features, such as search and linking, cross-book sorting, image management and more. It is also multi-lingual and offers options for authentication integration.

Piggydb is a Web application provided as a self-contained package that contains a Web server and database engine. With Piggydb, you can create highly structured content by connecting knowledge fragments to each other to build a network structure, which is more flexible and expressive than a tree structure. Fragments can also be classified using hierarchical tags.
