Hi Alexander,
Thank you for the detailed reply. I had considered Evernote (as well as Springpad), but did not know if would be easy to track and organize the pages like WR or Surfulater. I had initially thought that I could use my netbook, but that would mean that I would have to bring it to work every day until this assignment was finished. I am also considering a web-based program called Notable ( http://www.notableapp.com/ ), but Evernote may be easier to manage and work with. I will try to give this some additional thought tomorrow.

I had not considered Dropbox for this type of assignment, but then again, I will not be responsible for actually editing the web pages. I am only gathering the changes from staff. But, it is a moot point, as our network will not allow us to connect up with Dropbox for some unknown reason. Box.net is fine, but not Dropbox. I have asked the powers that be, but have not received any kind of detailed answer. And, one of our key IT security officers uses Dropbox himself. Go figure!

In addition to Notable, there is another web-based program I just found called Denote: http://www.denoteapp.com/ . I wish these programs offered a hierarchical structure like Surfulalter, then they would be very useful to me.

Evernote does not provide hierarchical organisation of notebooks in folders, but tags can be organised hierarchically with no apparent limitation (other than each tag only appearing once). I have found this to be a very powerful system.

Just another thought, in case it had not occurred to you. If your team has access to the common MS Office applications, does that include OneNote? If so, you can set up a public notebook on a server that everyone can access. I haven’t tried this, so I could be wrong, but I think it would be relatively easy to set up a notebook to reflect the web pages, then have people make notes there. The beauty is more than one person can contribute to any single page, and each person can see what others are writing.
