Using Software Codidact as a private community within a company
Short version
As you probably know SO offers Stack Overflow for Teams as a product for a knowledge management tool for private use (private teams).
I am wondering if it is possible for Codidact to also offer something similar in the medium term.
Long version
Several years ago along with a few colleagues, I managed a private community based on Stack Overflow for a former employer. Codidact was probably just an idea back then and SO's solution seemed to be the best fit:
- clean layout
- reputation system
- favors "less noise"
Fast-forward to nowadays. I have discussed with my boss about implementing a similar knowledge management solution where I work (rather big company, knowledge management is quite messy, a lot of reinventing the wheel). SO's solution would be a natural choice, but now we have Codidact which satisfies many aspects of what I am interested in:
- clean layout
- better reputation system than SO
- favors "less noise"
- no moral issues associated with using a product from a company I do not like anymore
Unfortunately, besides the technical details, there are also some legal ones. From what I remember, the most problematic was related to GDPR and where the data actually resides (within EU or outside).
