Foswiki

Foswiki is a self-hosted, open-source wiki platform written in Perl. It is intended for shared knowledge management and collaboration rather than ordinary static web publishing alone.

Foswiki is built on Perl. That matters when an organization is evaluating deployment, extensions, and the skills needed to maintain the installation.

Yes. Foswiki is designed to run in an organization's own environment rather than relying on a central hosted service. The operator therefore controls the server, data, access rules, and updates.

The supplied description presents Foswiki as operating without a central server and distributing processing across participating machines. Buyers should verify the current architecture and deployment model before treating that description as a technical guarantee.
