After a rift in the TWiki project led to a fork, the new version has chosen its name and formally launched as Foswiki, for “Free and Open Source Wiki.”

Foswiki’s project goals are:

• “Foswiki promises new (and long-awaited) features, while maintaining a clear upgrade path for existing TWiki installations.
• Foswiki is an open-source project, publishing its work under the GNU General Public License.
• The Foswiki community is dedicated to democratic governance, free of commercial influence and trademark issues.
• We want our marketing finally to live up with our product and be as good.”

I am looking forward to continued Foswiki growth, and I anticipate it will remain an excellent wiki for both intranet and internet use cases.
