I’ve been trying to find an #internal #documentation tool that @oaf can use for nearly half a year now. I have been looking at (and am really eager) to try slab.com - but I can’t seem to get a hold of anyone either via their LiveChat or via email.

Shouting out into the Fediverse - does anyone know how to connect with the folks at #slab, or if they are still operational? If not, can you suggest any alternatives?

Has anyone had any experience with #Odoo (https://www.odoo.com) in Australia at all? Trying to see if it’s worth consolidating a number of functions (timesheets, HRIS, CRM/donor management and knowledge management) into a single platform.

It’s frustrating that we’ve had to get to this point but I draw the line at stuff causing outages.
