    So, you might know that back in 2006 I started the ScrewTurn Wiki project. Well, three major versions has come past, and 60k downloads in the last 9 months. Everything totally exceeded my expectations. A couple of weeks ago I founded a company, and today we made the announcement that ScrewTurn Wiki has been acquired by such company. I'm very excited about this thing, and as many of us do, I had to post it here. :-D That is the reason why I have been quite absent lately. Setting up a company is such a complex and time-consuming task... anyway, we're done now, and the real work can start. Wish us luck!

    If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe - but not a personality. - Charlie Brooker My Photos/CP Flickr Group - ScrewTurn Wiki v3

                            This is curiosity, not a criticism, but why start a company and "aquire" your own project? How does the company plan to make money (I note from your blog that the wiki will continue to be free). I'm not saying you don't deserve to make some money from what I'm sure is three year's hard work, just curious how you plan to do so with free software.

                              First of all congratulations. You've built something dam good, and I'm sure your company is going to be great. I've so far only played around with STW on dummy projects, but certainly have plans to use it for bigger ones in the future. Secondly. Good luck. Keep us updated on how it goes.

                                The very same question I was about to ask.

                                All right, you guys, I got eight crates of Ipecac from Mort. All on my tab. Now, whoever goes the longest without puking gets the last piece of pie in the fridge.

                                    Holy crap, you are the guy who built that!? I have the desktop version installed on my work computer and I just updated my resume to say I spearheaded the effort to get a wiki (MediaWiki, actually... currently has more plug-ins than STW) adopted at my company. I can't imagine how great it would be to say I built ScrewTurn Wiki itself! While you are here, when is version 3.0 of the desktop edition coming out? Good luck with the new company!

                                      So, you might know that back in 2006 I started the ScrewTurn Wiki project. Well, three major versions has come past, and 60k downloads in the last 9 months. Everything totally exceeded my expectations. A couple of weeks ago I founded a company, and today we made the announcement that ScrewTurn Wiki has been acquired by such company. I'm very excited about this thing, and as many of us do, I had to post it here. :-D That is the reason why I have been quite absent lately. Setting up a company is such a complex and time-consuming task... anyway, we're done now, and the real work can start. Wish us luck!

                                      Best of luck man, I took the plunge a while back and I rate it as one of the best moves I've ever done :) If you need help Arabizing STW, then I offer you my services.

                                        This is curiosity, not a criticism, but why start a company and "aquire" your own project? How does the company plan to make money (I note from your blog that the wiki will continue to be free). I'm not saying you don't deserve to make some money from what I'm sure is three year's hard work, just curious how you plan to do so with free software.

                                        Constructive criticism is always welcome. STW will only be a part of our business. We're working on two other (non-free) projects, totally unrelated to STW. Besides that, we also offer commercial redistribution licenses for STW. Basically, we use them to support development of the application.

                                          First of all congratulations. You've built something dam good, and I'm sure your company is going to be great. I've so far only played around with STW on dummy projects, but certainly have plans to use it for bigger ones in the future. Secondly. Good luck. Keep us updated on how it goes.
