A Wetpaint wiki has everything you need to create an amazing wiki website - and best of all, it’s 100% free. Wetpaint features everything you would ever want (and certainly need) to start and grow a collaborative website. We’re adding features all the time, so there’s always something new to try.
Synthasite, an AJAX based Web Publishing Platform, emerged today from stealth mode. The 6-person startup based in Cape Town, South Africa was recently spun out from the incuBeta group as a separate stand-alone company that will focus on delivering a world class web based software platform for web publishing, focusing specifically on Widgets & Mashups. Synthasite looks and feels like desktop software, but remains firmly rooted in the browser with no reliance on client side technology.
Synthasite, a next generation web publishing startup, has just announced the launch of its Beta version, which is available online at www.synthasite.com. The Synthasite platform integrates APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) from third parties to be integrated into a single environment that allows users to drag and drop content into their webpages from multiple sources, without requiring any prior programming experience.
The latest features include free hosting and sub-domains, widgets from multiple platforms and services, templates with dynamic menus, image hosting, layouts and many others.
The intention of this version is to demonstrate the ability of Synthasite to integrate with 3rd party APIs, but still allow the average user the beneļ¬t of simple drag and drop.
The Synthasite Beta platform currently supports drag and drop functionality from the following content & widget providers, with many more to come:
YourMinis, YouTube, SmugMug, FlickR, Revver, MetaCafe, Google Video
Synthasite has opted for a familiar desktop software look and feel for its application utilizing AJAX to deliver a fully browser based solution.
Wikidot Inc., developer of the popular Wikidot.com platform has freed the code for its flagship product under the new GNU Affero GPLv3 license. The company has freed both its current Wikidot product, and the new Wikidot/2.0 product under development.
Wikidot Inc. founder and General Manager Michal Frackowiak explains, "our users want access to the code, and we want our users to get involved in the project. We believe that freeing our software is great for our community, and great for our business." The Affero license gives users the right to modify, share, and even resell improvements to the code. Michal explains, "it’s like the GPLv3 but also requires service providers who extend our Wikidot code to share their improvements".
Through pure word-of-mouth, Wikidot now ranks as one of the most popular wikifarms, and is growing at the rate of 500 users a day. Michal Frackowiak concludes, "we deliver a quality product and a very reliable service. Our users are our best sales people."
Software is available free of charge to everyone at wikidot.org.
