Details

Foswiki is a flexible, powerful, and easy to use enterprise wiki and collaboration platform. The structured wiki is typically used to run a project development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on an intranet or on the internet. Web content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser. Users without programming skills can create web applications. Developers can extend the functionality of Fowsiki with Plugins.

Foswiki forked from TWiki 2008-10-27 as a reaction of the hostile takeover of TWiki by a company called TWiki.net.

Administrators can tailor their Foswiki installation with over 400 extensions available from foswiki.org and twiki.org.
