I am wanting to document my web application with online docs.  I have written some docs in pdf and posted them, but I would prefer to have an online version where I can update them easier.  It will be text, table of contents, screenshots, etc.  What is an easy lightweight to accomplish this?

    So... you want a CMS, basically? Or a wiki?

    Adam,

    A CMS would probably do what I need....Any CMS suggestions?

    Are wiki's typical for this?  Would you choose a wiki or CMS?

    Depends on your requirements. I think you can probably research the pros and cons of each, although they can perhaps be summarised by thinking that a CMS would have its content maintained by a subset of people who manage the content for a broader audience of consumers who only read the information, whereas a wiki is aimed at consumers who both read and maintain the information.

    As for CMSes... nup, never had the need to use one. However if you want a CFML-based one, I believe Mura is the way to go? Or perhaps ContentBox? I've never used either.

    I'll try to get the guys from both to have a chat with you...
