Foswiki
Foswiki is wiki software, supporting the editing
of Web pages in an ordinary Web browser by end
users. It offers a flexible, powerful, secure, yet easy to use
web-based collaboration platform.
What makes Foswiki special is that it
supports the embedding of active and passive
macros that enhance the page content (e.g. with
global or dynamic information) and allow end-users
to build applications that store and process data
in a structured manner
Developers can extend the functionality of Foswiki with
plugins.
Foswiki is primarily used at the workplace as a corporate wiki
to
coordinate team activities, track projects, implement workflows
and as an Intranet Wiki.
The software is written in Perl
with pages stored in plain
text files.
Foswiki is based on TWiki,
which was originally written by
Peter Thoeny. Foswiki was created following the 'takeover' of TWiki
by
TWiki.net.
