XWiki · Paris, France · founded 2004
What it is
XWiki is an open-source enterprise wiki and knowledge-management platform for collaboration, document management, and structured data. It supports knowledge bases, collaborative intranets, public websites, and business applications, with publishing for internal or external audiences. Users can edit through wiki syntax or a WYSIWYG editor, while version control lets them compare or restore earlier page versions. Page rights can govern viewing, editing, and deletion at page, child-page, or whole-wiki levels. XWiki lists more than 900 extensions, including applications, macros, skins, plugins, and themes. Connectors are listed for Active Directory, Office 365, Google Apps, and OnlyOffice, and collaborative applications include meetings, forums, calendars, and task management. A RESTful API supports links with other applications. Deployment options include self-hosting or XWiki Cloud, with Linux, Tomcat, Jetty, Docker, and Debian environments listed. The cloud service is hosted in France on OVHcloud and includes automated backups, monitoring, antivirus scanning, and regular security maintenance. A free 10-day cloud demo can be extended twice.
