Foswiki 1.0.7 on a USB Stick

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.
