Foswiki is now also available over a FreeBSD port. See the following mail vom Greg Larkin:
I just committed the initial version of the FreeBSD port for Foswiki
1.0.6: http://www.freshports.org/www/foswiki/
This port enables you to install Foswiki on FreeBSD with the simple
command:
cd /usr/ports/www/foswiki && make install clean
I’m still working on some scaffolding in the port to support
auto-generated Foswiki plugin ports. Once that’s done, I’ll add a port
for each plugin found in http://svn.foswiki.org/trunk/.
If anyone has feedback, bug reports or patches, please send them along!
If you want to make Foswiki adapt better to your needs help us to improve this open source software.
Here is, how you can help.

With Pootle we now have a user-friendly web portal that makes our translation process much simpler. It allows online translation, work assignment, gives statistics and allows easy volunteer contribution. A flexible workflow supports translation on an individual basis, cooperativ in teams or even by starting a powerful translation marathon.
We like to say thanks to the Pootle community for developing this tool and for the very friendly and helpful support. Special thanks goes to Friedel who helped on #pootle IRC to get the tool running.
Foswiki Translation Framework
You can access the translation framework on
translate.foswiki.org.
As we want to make the translation process as open as possible, everyone can make suggestions for translations without even to log in.
To assure high quality and consistent wording every language has a coordinator, who can approve translations and push them into the Foswiki SVN repository. On the Translation-Team topic you will find a list of all coordinators and translators supporting the effort.
Our community is growing every day and language support needs to speed up. It is our quality goal to offer Foswiki in as many languages as possible. This makes using Foswiki more convenient especially for beginners. The Translation framework is a big step to reach this aim. It is an invitation to everybody, to support the translation process and make Fowiki the best wiki ever created.
If you can’t wait to support the translation effort on Foswiki, please get in contact with our language coordinator André Ulrich.

It is of great pleasure to announce, that in the current code repository, that can be tested at http://trunk.foswiki.org by community members, one can use the current version of TinyMCE 3.2.2.
Crawford Currie says in a message to the community:
This was a major upgrade, as it required recoding of all the Foswiki-specific code due to extensive API changes in TinyMCE. Hopefully this new version of Tiny MCE will fix some of the old niggles. However it will not be in Foswiki 1.0.4.
Please note, that the Foswiki community will test the new editor thoroughly before adding the feature to the official core code. Fosiwiki 1.0.4 will be released within the next days. Please do not expect this feature to be part of that release.
What are the benefits for Foswiki?
What can you do with it now?
- Help us to test the new feature, by using trunk.foswiki.org instead of www.foswiki.org for browsing through our website. You might need to get a registered foswiki user to edit pages.
- You can also test the implementation in your own foswiki, that you should install from trunk.
The Foswiki community says: “Thank you for your contribution, Crawford!”
