Do you need to choose the KB software or is that already in place?

A typical structure is:

- problem statement
- solution(s)
- links to related articles and other resources

A knowledge base is by definition unorganized.

A KB is similar to a blog in that each article stands alone. It's
similar to a wiki (especially a flat wiki without a navigation tree,
such as MediaWiki) and SEO in that tagging / keywords can be important
in helping users find the right information.
