We are in the process of discovering the way technology may leverages the sharing of knowledge inside organisations and across organizational boundaries. How to use all these great possibilities is still an open question, but it is obvious that information technology is a knowledge-enabler, without it a modern organization having difficulties to access the vast amount of information that is available in both internal and external organizational environment. Social interaction and individual through knowledge digital spaces are seeing as the main skills of future intellect workers. In this framework, we presented the concept of knowledge portal and the most important functions that literature presented as necessary for developing such a portal. Further, in actual context of the ascension of Free and Open Source Software, and the huge opportunities it is offering in information handling, we described such a software solution – named Bitweaver, that provide a medium through which knowledge can be shared, so we presented as a good candidate for accomplishing such a portal. We have combined and applied the previously exposed ideas in accomplishing a space for storage and communication between the members of a department, which shares common interests, useful information about their teaching and research activities.
