I did see a mention on one post about forms, which would be a useful thing for an internal business wiki (eg expenses, queries, etc). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They both seem to date about 2009-2010 ,looking on the TWiki it looks a bit dated as a front interface and on the Foswiki I see there is a 2022 release so seems to be currently running and being updated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foswiki has more momentum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea as a collaboration tool for training and company memory for resources to check up on and use when developing further ideas. You have a reference point of information where you can access other information that others have contributed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was using FreeMind and you could export to TWiki and the data structure isclean enough to be read by a text editor, so handy to get data out of FreeMind and with minimal cleaning use in other documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Foswiki it says it can do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Users can create applications using Excel-like macros &#8211; built-in or from numerous extensions<\/li><li>Extract and display data in different formats: tabular, graphical, XML<\/li><li>Combine with Web APIs like Google Maps to create mashups<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can sort of do that on web pages too. Maybe its for non web people doing some simple stuff. But you can collaborate on web pages as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">End Comment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> A good idea but not relevant to me as Obsidian is enough for a one person development platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m wondering what this would have over a normal website with pages. It must have some relevance but with the first overview of it I cannot see any personal use cases for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interesting, glad I had a quick look at it, but on the back burner for the present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seem to be enterprise wikis TWiki and Foswiki where you can have internal pages built for information.
