Foswiki

I'm a part of the Foswiki community that were forced to fork away from TWiki through the actions of Peter and his startup. While Peter says 'all we have to do is agree to the new terms&conditions' we do not feel we can agree to terms that reduce our work to a marketing exercise for his company, and we don't agree that his startup can sell our user information.

Foswiki is already a larger project than TWiki was, with more active developers, and more changes and fixes. Over the next year, we are driving it to become not only the leading Enterprise wiki engine, but also the most attractive.

TWikiProject

I was a TWiki:Codev.CoreTeam member for 5 years, and had been doing TWiki development from 1999-2008. I worked on most TWiki features and all the releases during that time.

Debian packages for Foswiki

I have a debian repository with the latest foswiki release, and all the foswiki extensions (with dependancies) at http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_debian

and to updates, and installations are truly trivial.

these are very out dated

TODO

  • work on MiniEditPlugin? to get it to have loadable syntax specific mini-editors - MiniEditIdeas

Tools

  • my current editor of choice is Meld, a Gnome based editor with cvs diff support (and displays the differences as you edit)
  • owiki:OWikiPad is a python&qt based editor that can do simple xmlrpc to wiki's using the JspWiki?:WikiInterface. I'm playing with this a little smile
