Press Release 839 Published by

ProjectForum, a wiki-based collaboration application for small and medium workgroups, has been updated to version 5.6. With additional administrative tools, extended RSS/Atom support and more, this powerful but easy-to-use workgroup wiki can be installed on Mac OS X in minutes by anyone.



Guelph, Ont - CourseForum Technologies is pleased to announce the immediate availability of ProjectForum 5.6, a wiki-based software application that supports collaboration within and between professional workgroups.

ProjectForum is a commercially supported, high quality wiki collaboration server for small and medium workgroups. It runs securely on an organization's own network, keeping important information safely in-house and protected. Supporting multiple workgroups from a single server, it features full version control, secure authentication options, document management, full branding support and much more.

Version 5.6 includes a number of new features and enhancements. Administrators can replicate individual forums, better track user activity and manage forum pages. Support for Atom feeds has been added to the existing RSS tools, while several enhancements were made to server network performance and other areas.

Unlike other wiki software, ProjectForum is affordable, easy to set up, easy to learn, and easy to use, for any workgroup. ProjectForum can be downloaded and set up on an internal network in minutes by anyone, without the dependencies, complex installation and maintenance headaches inherent in most wiki software.

Versions are available for Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher (as well as Windows, Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD), while users of the software need only a web browser. ProjectForum offers a free version, with more advanced licenses starting at US$79. A fully managed hosted version is also available, ideal for those who may want to migrate in-house later.

CourseForum 5.6, a version of the ProjectForum application targeted for online learning applications, was also released.
