Wiki software is a great way for teams to communicate and collaborate. But Wiki packages available today are either very underpowered, don't have the features teams need, or can't be run on your own machines. Or, they're so complex that you need to spend hours getting them up and running: hacking web servers, databases, script files, and more.
The Most Self-Contained and Hassle Free Wiki
ProjectForum runs as a single application, with no dependencies on external databases, web servers, version control systems, or anything else. And all configuration is done through an easy web-based interface.
No more "install this version of this web server, this Perl/PHP interpreter, this database, this version control system, these five modules, our 250mb tarball, copy these CGI scripts to here, edit these configuration files, update these permissions..." like you get with almost all Wiki software available today.
This means that you're up and running in minutes. Without needing to call an IT consultant. And you'll stay running, without breaking into a sweat every time you need to upgrade something else on your server.
