Tamara,

The goals determine the tools you need. You will want to determine

1) Who is your audience.

2) What do they need to know.

3) How are they going to access the information. (You indicate the Internet). Do you have paper doc requirements as well?

4) What form the information needs to be in: PDF, HTML, etc.

Then you can start asking questions like what is the best tool and how do I maintain my content.

If you are looking to learn tools that are marketable, well that's another question.
