ProjectForum is Wiki software with all the power that you need for your team, minus the complex setup and hassle. Start using it in minutes, for free.

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.

Powerful Features for your Team

A wiki designed to support close collaboration in teams is different from one made to be open to the entire world. Here is a partial list of some of the advanced features you'll find in ProjectForum that are designed to support teams and their projects; you'll be hard-pressed to find such a comprehensive feature set in other Wiki products available today.

  • store images and file attachments
  • host multiple wiki's on the same server
  • group project areas inside the main wiki (sub-wikis)
  • comment posting as well as full page editing
  • full administration interface
  • page templates
  • site appearance can be easily customized for branding
  • RSS feeds for every forum, plus display other RSS feeds
  • run standalone or integrate with other web servers
  • runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris

Full Security and Accountability

Security is particularly important in systems like a Wiki where anyone can potentially change anything. Designed in from the start, ProjectForum offers many unobtrustive options to secure your content and ensure full accountability.

  • specific site and group administrators, and admin tools
  • option to require site passwords or individual accounts
  • page locking
  • activity tracking
  • fully integrated version control / page history
  • SSL support so all network traffic is encrypted
