Professional Wiki Software — Wiki Done Right
ProjectForum is Wiki software with all the power that you need,
but without all the complex setup and hassle. You can literally
start using it in minutes!
Wiki software provides a great way for a team to communicate
and collaborate, but Wiki packages available today are either
very underpowered, or so complex that you need to spend
hours getting them setup 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, 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. And you'll stay
running, without breaking into a sweat every time you need to upgrade
something else on your server.
A Wiki that is Full-Featured and Powerful
Here is a partial list of some of the advanced features you'll find
in ProjectForum; 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
- can be easily integrated with other web servers (or run standalone)
- cross-platform: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris
Covers a Full Range of Security Needs
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:
- 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
