Hello everyone,
Another employee at my work posed an interesting question to me today that I didn't know the answer to. He asked, are there any other companies in regulated industries that make use of Mediawiki. I told him I'd ask here because I didn't know.
To provide a little bit of context for the question: we are currently developing an extension that allows us to do risk assessments and software validation for compliance with the FDA's CFR 21 Part 11. We are using Mediawiki as the basis for this because we already use it for our knowledge base and because this means that we can take advantage of the history tracking functionality of Mediawiki allowing us to see who changed what when, something that is reasonably important.
We also are making use of Mediawiki to allow electronic access our SOPs for most of the laboratory, this is controlled through the Pending Changes extension combined with page protection to ensure that changes can only be made by a few select people and that they get reviewed before going live.
I myself am also curious whether or not any other businesses make use of Mediawiki in similar ways or in similar enviornments.
Thank you,
