Big sale on CourseForum and ProjectForum wiki licenses.

Only until June 30, we're doubling up new CourseForum and ProjectForum licenses; purchase a one wiki license and we'll give you a two wiki license. Or buy a five, get a ten. Ditto for any other sized license.

We're not leaving out existing customers either; you can upgrade to a larger sized license for 25% off the regular upgrade price.

This is definitely a once-in-a-very-long-time opportunity, but it's only available until June 30.

Using a Wiki for Document Control

Our friends at Geometrica have written another fine article, about how they've used a wiki to manage documents. From the intro:

ISO 9001:2008 requires document control: reviewing, updating and approving documents prior to use; ensuring that relevant versions are available at points of use; identifying necessary updates and making changes; and preventing the use of obsolete documents. Easier said than done -- and paper-based systems and typical office software can make it almost impossible: Nearly everyone ends up with obsolete or defective documents stashed in desks, files and email in-boxes. Custom or packaged document-control software is expensive and may not be flexible enough to suit an organization’s needs. In short, controlling documents is a recurring challenge.

Fortunately, there is a new, affordable and flexible tool to tackle this challenge: a wiki. This tool makes document control straightforward, even enjoyable if you have ever attempted other methods.

Check it out.

New Release: Version 6.4.0

We've just released version 6.4 of both our wiki products, which can be obtained as usual from our website.

This release packs a whole lot of mostly incremental improvements, which when taken together are a nice step up from the previous versions. Visit our changes page to get the full scoop on what we've changed.
