I received an email earlier today introducing me to Foswiki. This free and open source wiki is a fork that began in late 2008 of another wiki you may know by the name of TWiki. Foswiki is positioning itself as the ideal collaboration tool for your project , team or business.

The sender of the email also wanted me to bring attention on the fact that Foswiki 1.1.3 has been released recently.
