OpenForum is an application providing a Wiki style collaboration platform. It comes ready to run out of the box and has an integrated web server and user authentication.
In addition to the standard Wiki functions of page editing, OpenForum allows the Wiki platform to be extended, tailored and integrated with existing systems. This is achieved by the use of server side Javascript scripts and Java plugins. The server side scripts can be edited from within the Wiki itself. In fact all the Wiki actions, such as editing pages, uploading attachments and controlling access are defined in Javascript scripts that can be edited from within the Wiki.
- OpenForum has the ability to serve real-time content mixed with static content using a number of AJAX style functions.
- OpenForum can access databases, REST applications and Xml based web services as well as act as a source of information to other applications.
- OpenForum has a rich set of template functions to enable the Wiki to have a consistent look and feel.
- Unlike many Wiki's, OpenForum allows pages to be organised hierarchically with hierarchical templates and access control.
The Project has a Google Group http://groups.google.com/group/openforum-wiki offering help and support to users and developers of the OpenForum Wiki platform.
Quick Start
- Download and unzip the zip file
- Run the file bin/openforumwiki.bat (This starts a web server on the loop back address 127.0.0.1)
- Open a Web Browser and goto to page http://127.0.0.1
Please note that the openforumwiki.bat file starts the server in configuration mode with a user interface that uses a lot of processor capacity. To run the Wiki in production mode run the file run-as-service.cmd
This is the development area for the free and open source OpenForum Wiki project. From here you can download the latest release of the application, get the source code and begin participating in the development program.
