Foswiki and TWiki reviews on Sourceforge

Below content is distributed via SourceForge's RSS feed of reviews on the two projects. Some of the below reviews are not displayed there, maybe as a result of intense caching on their behalf.

My personal favorite:

“With Peter behind it, it has to be great.”

is not RSSed anymore.

On Foswiki

Last update 3 months, 2 days aqo
Thumbs up: Foswiki offers a solid codebase for many use cases. The available software is only superseeded with the friendly and fast support of the developers and community.
Thumbs up: super progress!
Thumbs up: Best wiki around. Extensible, stable, straight forward.

On TWiki

Last update 6 days, 22 hours aqo
Thumbs down: Everyone's gone. All the coders are at Foswiki, Yahoo, Motorola, Google are moving or have already moved. Spectacular combustion of a project name by corporate squeezing of a community.
Thumbs up: its cool
Thumbs down: A departed developer community and Stalinist control by the company trying to monetize their work. Not a good architecture to build on. Fortunately dev continues at Foswiki — so upgrade now!
Thumbs up: fantastic tool. i've been using twiki for more than 5 years and am very satisfied with its effectiveness. one downside i have noticed, though, is some instability under mod_perl with apache2… i get intermittent failures on dependencies that are a bit bewildering…
Thumbs up: sdsdd
Thumbs down: sadly a poorly coded, poorly performing codebase, with years of crufty code and no specification beyond the code itself. Avoid this – there is no chance that the code could ever be considered safe, or reliable.
Thumbs down: Trademark hold by "closed" company. No developer community.
