foswiki for windows updated to version 1.0.8

Tag: enterprise, foswiki, new, nextwiki, open source, perl, twiki, twikiapplication, twikifork, wiki, wiki application, windows — Sven Dowideit @ 10:02 pm

I built and uploaded foswiki 1.0.8 installer for windows last night – hope you like it, cos i’ll be on holidays for a few days :)

For the last 2 weeks I’ve been working on an SAP connector for foswiki – I can display most SAP Tables, and call most SAP functions – all via ‘RFC’ – right now we’re working towards a proactive system healthcheck report, but it pretty much will allow us to build any SAP process right into foswiki. Cool huh.

and for fun I’ve been working on making a replacement DocumentGraphics icon set based on FamFamFamContrib for foswiki – the 10 year old hand drawn one really is dated.

foswiki – wow.

Tag: enterprise, foswiki, new, nextwiki, open source, perl, twiki, twikiapplication, twikifork, wiki, wiki application — Sven Dowideit @ 9:10 pm

Our project fork hit the one year milestone a week or so ago, and Arthur noticed this amazing ‘factoid’ on ohloh..

Very large, active development team

Over the past twelve months, 36 developers contributed new code to Foswiki.

This is one of the largest open-source teams in the world, and is in the top 2% of all project teams on Ohloh.

For this measurement, Ohloh considered only recent changes to the code. Over the entire history of the project, 43 developers have contributed.

All I can say, is WOW and thank you, to everyone that has worked on our project, and to all who discover it.

The Foswiki Association & Summit is happening in Hannover at the end of this month – I wish I could be there, but its a long way from Australia – maybe next year :)

I’ve been working on a Foswiki User administration user interface again

Tag: enterprise, foswiki, javascript, new, nextwiki, open source, perl, twiki, twikiapplication, twikifork, wiki, wiki application — Sven Dowideit @ 11:04 pm

This iteration I’ve been working using the HTTPDUserAdminContrib – as having the users and groups in the database makes it hard to work on.

UserManagementUI

Hopefully there’ll be time to use and extend it for foswiki 1.1

Foswiki 1.0.7 on a USB Stick

Tag: enterprise, foswiki, new, nextwiki, open source, perl, twiki, twikiapplication, twikifork, wiki, windows — Sven Dowideit @ 2:00 pm

FoswikiOnAStick

I’ve updated the USB Foswiki to include foswiki 1.0.7, and updated the systray controller to be a little more slick :)

I’m still looking for feedback from users – Its a nice fast way to try out foswiki without needing to install anything – just unzip the archive into the root of a disk, and click start_foswiki.bat (on Windows XP the autorun should start that automatically for you)

Foswiki 1.0.7 released.

Tag: enterprise, foswiki, new, nextwiki, open source, perl, twiki, twikiapplication, twikifork, wiki, wiki application, windows — Sven Dowideit @ 5:54 pm

Continuing our commitment to bug fixing and solving difficult security issues, we’re proud to announce that the Foswiki project has released 1.0.7.

This release contains:

  • an upgraded Wysiwyg editor : TinyMCE 3.2.2
  • table plugin sorting improvements
  • CSRF fixes and streamlineing
  • and a series of Windows related improvements

see http://foswiki.org/Download/WebHome for more details, and to download the update.

I’m updating the Foswiki On a USB Stick at the moment, and will then work on Windows and Debian.

Ohloh shows a very comforting graph for me – over the year, we’ve been maintaining our momentum, and regularly have over 10 different contributors _every_ month.

Foswiki Association founded!

Tag: foswiki, nextwiki, open source, twiki, twikiapplication, wiki — Sven Dowideit @ 10:06 am

To quote Jens Hansen:

On Wednesday the 09.09.2009 we came together for the initial Founding of the Foswiki Association. After four hours of meeting it was created – articles explained and agreed, iInitial board elected as well as signatures approved with the notary. Afterwards we took a beer and had some nice chats. I guess we will manage to upload some pictures during the weekend.

So now we have a non-profit entity that will hold the domains, trademarks and intellecual property, thus securing our open source identity from ’startups’ like T(m)wiki inc.

Jens and the guys have been working hard ‘in the background’ to get this legal entity up and running, and we’ll be holding a full general assembly as soon as we can organise that too.

Meanwhile, we’re also working on a 1.0.7 and 1.1 release of foswiki – busy times.
