Foswiki
The Free Enterprise Collaboration Platform
Foswiki is a browser-based collaboration platform where team members can edit pages together. It uses macros to automate pages and build applications, addressing the need for shared documentation and lightweight internal tools in a single environment. Pages can be organized into separate webs, and layouts can be customized site-wide or per page, user, or group.
The platform includes a built-in text editor and supports dynamic pages such as status boards, to-do lists, inventory systems, employee handbooks, and bug trackers. It offers over 200 extensions through the Extensions Web to add capabilities, and it is compatible with TWiki, including a migration path. Support is provided through community channels including IRC, mailing lists, and a support repository, with consultants available for site creation or customization.
Foswiki is aimed at projects, teams, and businesses that need collaborative page editing and in-browser application building. It is distributed as free software under the Foswiki Association, a non-profit foundation, and is powered by Perl. The latest release is available for download, and accounts can be registered to use the site's sandbox.
