ProjectForum/CourseForum 5.0 Released

Released 5/3/2006.

WATERLOO, Ont. - CourseForum Technologies is pleased to announce the immediate availability of ProjectForum 5.0, a major new release of its professional and easy-to-use wiki collaboration software.

ProjectForum is software that makes it easy for a team of people to work together. Whether your team members are across the room or across the globe, ProjectForum lets you share ideas, documents, schedules and status. Share and discuss your work online, privately and securely.

ProjectForum is as powerful and secure as traditional collaboration software. It features full version control, group project support, multiple authentication options, image and file management, page templates, SSL, full branding support, multiple forums, and much more. But ProjectForum is affordable, easy to set up, easy to learn, and easy to use, for any workgroup.

Version 5.0 is a major update that includes dozens of improvements. The OS X version is now available as a Universal binary for improved performance on Intel Macs. Slideshow support is now directly integrated, via the open source S5 software. A major update to the internal runtime engine brings increased performance and reliability. Many other smaller features and enhancements are also included.

ProjectForum is available either as a fully managed hosted service, or as software that can be downloaded and run in-house, without the complex installation and maintenance headaches inherent in most wiki or web server software. Anyone can have ProjectForum running in a matter of minutes, with no webmaster, no code, and no IT help needed. Versions are available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other Unixes, while users of the software need only a standard web browser.

ProjectForum hosting starts at US$20 a month, while downloadable versions start at US$249. A free version is also available.
