User Reviews

  • With unparalleled flexibility and power, the truly industrial-strength wiki! Foswiki doesn't have a rigid pre-defined structure like many CMS's but provides far better tools for creating structured data and applications then other wikis. Makes it relatively easy to build all kinds of applications far quicker than other frameworks. Also provides lots of ways to integrate external data from legacy applications.
  • Great software, thank you.
  • super progress!
  • Foswiki is a truly meritocratic project, run by its contributors for the benefit of everyone. It's a great place to learn, and explore cool new ideas with like minded people. The tool is pretty excellent too, an incredible business enabler with welcoming, friendly, free support!

  • Starting with version 1.0 we switched over from TWiki to Foswiki and this was the right decision. There is a lot of dedication put into this great project of an Enterprise Wiki. It helps us in our company every day to meet the requirements for todays information management. Thanks for this great product!
