Professional and easy web/wiki collaboration forums

ProjectForum lets you share ideas, documents and comments on a web interface that sits between a traditional forum and a wiki page.

Managing work groups has never been an easy task, especially when dealing with large projects where everybody wants to express their own ideas and proposals.

With ProjectForum this task can be a bit easier. It works like collaborative software, only that you can share items online in a safe environment, and you can have it set up and running in two minutes: no tech skills required!

All you need to use ProjectForum is a computer to install it, and a web browser to access it. You can then create different pages – for diverse project areas, meeting memos, to-do lists and more.

ProjectForum is very easy to use and configure – you can do everything via web – and can also be tweaked to suit your personal needs.

ProjectForum is a really simple wiki tool with which you can easily manage large projects and work groups.
