Mystic development migrates to Foswiki
At Mystic, we’ve been using an install of TWiki 4 for more than 18 months. We’ve also started to heavily use more of the features available in the product, and became increasingly frustrated with the apparent lack of community as of late. Our company does a lot of communication through IRC, and while we got some support, it was essentially a one-man show. The tubes must have been listening, because right about the time I was ready to abandon all hope, I received a twitter follow from @Foswiki.
Intrigued, I looked at the linked website in their profile, and it looked … like … TWiki? How could this be? It looked “pleasant”. It didn’t look like a rats nest of links thrown on a page, but yet, there were TWiki-like controls. After reading the schism due to the anointed-ones status back in October of last year, it all started to make sense. And visiting their IRC channel on Freenode, I started to see, an actual community, and found out where all the best TWiki developers went.
After a little bit of time reading the easy migration guide, the wiki’s we use at Mystic are all moved over to Foswiki. And because of the community-feel we’ve been seeing, are looking to develop some custom plugins for our needs. The future looks bright for this wiki built with a strong community in place.
That is cool, because I was following you over Twitter. It is quite pleasing to see some marketing work!
