WikiMatrix / Will this project remain?

I wonder, if Boltwire will remain?
Means: will it make progress, will it be further developed?

I am quite impressed by the features and the "philosophy" behind it.
Seems to be the tool I ever searched for.

But I don't want to concentrate on a software, when it won't be supported in the feature - mostly because of missing security updates.

Thanks for the question about BoltWire! And glad you have found it to be a useful tool.

While not a career programmer, I am heavily involved in web development projects, and created BoltWire for my personal use. These are all long term projects, and therefore BoltWire will continue to be supported for the forseeable future.

I'm also hoping, as more people discover the power and flexibility of BoltWire, we will attract a larger community of users, which will further ensure its long term growth and development.

Cheers,
Dan

Just an update from a happy user..

Boltwire continues being actively refined.
To me it seems that more and more capability is being included without becoming bloated.
Its design and development has clearly taken a long serious look at how earlier wikis worked and where their designs ran into trouble.

I have been almost obsessively comparing wikis for a bit too long now.. there are some impressive wikis out there right now, but Boltwire is my favorite and has survived a long series of in-use comparisons.

It's not for everyone, of course. While installation is a breeze (a minor factor), changing its behavior to your liking (its real power) is not a matter of point and click, nor could it be. But if you have even the slightest experience with any kind of coding or scripting, this will be a breeze.

If you have a web server already up, like Apache or a web host, with PHP in place then installation will probably run just a few minutes.
(download <100kB, unzip, edit one word in one file, check permissions, go!)
It's worth a try.

To quote my self from other forum:

BoltWire is a small, simple and extremely powerful CMS very suitable for company environment. It works with no database behind (saves data to files) but has the most of database-like features plus hierarchical pages structure. PHP written, really worth of testing; after that you will use it, I am sure. It has everything you can imagine, and it is Open source with some kind of Free for use License.

Community support: 5+.

All of this sounds like a commercial, but I really love it
