WikiSuite is a Free / Libre / Open Source software (FLOSS) enterprise suite
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software
The enterprise suite
category is for solutions for organizations that cover more than 10 traditional software categories in an integrated fashion (ex.: logins work throughout all features, etc.). Software categories differ depending on the source and evolve over time, but here is a typical example.
It is the most comprehensive and integrated Free / Libre / Open Source enterprise software suite ever developed
comprehensive
: WikiSuite offers most (80%+) of the data and information management features all organizations need
integrated
: The end goal is that all parts of WikiSuite look and act consistantly. One login for everything, one search box for everything, etc. We are not 100% there yet, but we are closer than the other FLOSS offerings, and have a realistic roadmap to get there. See answer about Bootstrap below.
They are the individual software applications that comprise WikiSuite. Please see: Software Components
All options were extensively analyzed and compared coording to this component criteria.
No. Don't install / activate what you don't need. And the day you need it, you'll be pleased that it's ready for you, and working with all the rest of WikiSuite.
Yes, it's all Free / Libre / Open Source (FLOSS). You can use different components which suits you better (legacy data, better features, etc.) Please do share why / how you did this so other can learn and make better choices for their projects.
All Software Components are released under an OSI-approved license. Please see each component page for the specific license.
No. The main use case is to set up a server (virtual or physical) for each project. But several domains can be supported as aliases, so you could have both example.org and example.com but only one user johh.smith
An alternative: Orchestrator
Let's take both words (according to Wiktionary):
So it's collection of software working well together that facilitates teams working well together. Wikis are historically about collaboration on textual content in web pages (which was a limitation of the technology of the day). However, for WikiSuite, it's to faciliate collaboration through any type of content: web pages for unstructured content (wiki/web pages) and structured content (spreadsheets, databases, business applications), files, emails, real time communication (XMPP and WebRTC), virtual machines, videos, passwords, etc. (anything really)
It's mostly through a web browser but some non-browser software is supported. Ex.: the IMAP protocol to manage email via a desktop or mobile client.
