Here’s how Discourse would work for your use case:

> [@Kasie\_Dailey](#):
>
> a closed network

Set to invite only.

> [@Kasie\_Dailey](#):
>
> lots of cloud storage

Solved via [Configure an S3 compatible object storage provider for uploads](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-object-storage-for-uploads-s3-clones/148916)

> [@Kasie\_Dailey](#):
>
> easy mobile access (preferably an app)

Use Discourse on a mobile device and see if it meets your standards.

> [@Kasie\_Dailey](#):
>
> great search features

They are adequate out of the box.

> [@Kasie\_Dailey](#):
>
> collaboration, … , team control

Groups and permissions per category.

> [@Kasie\_Dailey](#):
>
> revision control

It is basic for Discourse wiki topics, but basic works for many folks.

> [@Kasie\_Dailey](#):
>
> low cost. I’m not sure on number of users- could be 10 users, 20 guests.  
> This is also for a non-profit, if it helps.

$5/month plus cloud storage (itself possibly pennies a month)

I don’t pitch Discourse as a wiki on it’s own, more like having a collaborative space with wiki-like editing, among the other communication features Discourse uses to keep folks in touch.

Ganbatte! 🙂
