About coWiki
coWiki
is a sophisticated but easy to use web collaboration tool that helps
you and your co-workers to create and organize web documents, weblogs
and knowledgebases or any other document structures directly in their
HTML browser. You may evolve ideas and gain a concomitant XML
documentation of your brainstorming without having to concentrate on
complicated structural syntaxes. In many senses, it is very like a wiki but additionally provides an easy way to secure and discuss its documents. A few coWiki features:
- Editing of documents (web pages) in an HTML browser.
- Automatic resolving of document links.
- Possibility
to rename any document at any time without leaving broken links. All
links to other documents remain consistant even if you or someone else
renames or moves a document.
- Hierarchical directory/document
structure that can be nested as deep as you wish. You do not get lost,
the breadcrumb navigation tells you where you are.
- Unixlike
access management with owner/group/world access permissions (and
restricted visibility) for each document or directory tree.
- Document revision management, comparing, colored diff'ing and recovery of documents
- Documents are parsed to XML for further export/transformation. PDF export is a good idea ...
- Threaded forums for registered users
- Plugin support through a defined API. Add your functions to coWiki.
- Template based and multilingual.
- Administration backend for complete management of this software and its users.
- ... and probably a few more things you will like.

Testimonials
- »I've been very impressed with my experiences with coWiki
to date. It is a very full featured and powerful system and I wish you
best of luck with it's continued development.« - Gary Herndon, Jul 2003
- »coWiki is astounding. I've had my eye on content managers
and wikis in general for a very long time, and I have found that coWiki
has an approach that is right for my needs. Having put my old writing
up on a wiki has finally given me the power to easily create documents,
link them all together, re-write, and share them in a way that is quick
and comfortable. coWiki has breathed new life into my creative spirit!
Thank you so much!« - Sy Ali, Jul 2003
- »Damn, that's some pretty software. Its PHP5-only, but its
some of the best written web/php software I've seen. I'm now using it
for my TODO list management. I might start using it for my weblog. Its
fully templatable, elegantly written (with a robust plugin system), and
its well architected to boot. [...] People who think that solutions
can't be elegant with PHP, should take a look at coWiki.« - Sterling Hughes, Jan 2004
