Foswiki is a wiki system that is notable for its approachability for non-technical users and its ability to store content in a structured fashion. The following qualities make it unique from the other JumpBox wikis:

  • A simple WYSIWYG editor means there's no need to learn special markup syntax.
  • Email addresses can be added to a wiki page and the users will receive notifications as changes are made.
  • Easily attach files to any wiki page and either view them in-line or as a separate attachment.
  • Add forms to your wiki pages to accept structured content submissions.

Foswiki is great for any project that requires collaborative note-taking. It offers a more shallow learning curve for the less-technical user given its usage of a mature WYSIWYG content editor. Simply cut & paste content from other sites or reference external pages from within your wiki page.

This JumpBox takes the place of the JumpBox for Enterprise Wiki. Users of JumpBox for Enterprise Wiki 1.0.5 and later can upgrade to the JumpBox for Foswiki.

What is a JumpBox?

A JumpBox makes using server software quick and simple. It packages an application's software, dependencies, and application data into a single virtual computer that enables you to focus on the application, not the details of getting the application to run.
