About
DistributedINFORMATION creates systems for gathering and reporting business Information and Intelligence using lessons learnt from the Wiki phenomenom.
In 2007 we focused on Releasing TWiki 4.2.0 including Windows, OSX and rpm based installers, and Trac and OpenID for TWiki
2008 will be about mixing Business Intelligence and Dashboarding concepts into an even more Data oriented Wiki - TWiki 5.0.
Current Projects
We are creating Javascript based toolsets to bring Wikis into the less technical user group. Projects include:
- DTrace support for Perl
- TWiki access statistics and analytics
- a new Dojo Toolkit based TWiki Explorer IDE
- Add a Wiki, a Javascript way to add Wiki links to any web site.
- using Catalyst Framework and YUI to build mySpending.info, a collaborative space for tracking small financial information (grocery receipts etc).
- The TWiki debian packages to simplify TWiki installation and maintainence. See http://distributedinformation.com/debian/
- enhancing TWiki’s Data-Wiki abilities through the development of a Database backed store.

Help support our Open Source work
Much of our work on TWiki, and other open source projects is done without client support, things such as the TWiki Builds, bug fixes, unit test work. If you’d like to support this work, please Make a Donation.
