Cynically, it's a recruitment expense -- there's a pretty good probability of getting a good hire from posting this widely.

It's not, to my mind, an actual corporate handbook -- it's missing boring important things like "here's our password and security policy, please remember we have people's super-personal health data in our apps, so it's really important". I guess that's probably in the company Wiki or similar.

To be honest, we're currently not really thinking of growing the company much. But you're right.

However, this whole thing started out as a Onboarding Handbook for new team members. Then however we thought it's also a great book to share with the world. So we decided to remove certain items and have those in the internal wiki only.

What are you using for your internal wiki?
Google Sites. Not specific reason, other that we use Google Suite already for most things and everyone has already a Google Suite account.
I own a small dev shop and I thought this was a great idea for recruiting. No need for cynicism.
