Microsoft said Monday that it is dipping a third toe into the open-source waters, adding a collaborative creation program to the list of Microsoft efforts that the company is freely sharing.
The company is making available the code for FlexWiki, software for creating "Wikis"--Web pages designed to cover a topic by allowing any number of users to create and edit content. FlexWiki is the third piece of Microsoft code that the company has released this year under an open-source license, all under the Common Public License (CPL). In April, Microsoft posted its Windows Installer XML (WiX) to SourceForge.net, following up a month later with the posting of the Windows Template Library (WTL) project. Microsoft noted that both of those projects have been in the top 5 percent of SourceForge's most active projects, with 100,000 copies of WiX having been downloaded, along with 20,000 copies of WTL. FlexWiki will also be made available on SourceForge's site.
