    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

      I'm sure I won't regret doing so, even if we go out of business. It's a challenge that I really want to take. Besides that, I've been a freelancer for three years now, and I've been totally happy with such decision.

        While you are here, when is version 3.0 of the desktop edition coming out?

        The main problem is maintaining the installer. It takes an awful lot of time and, sorry to say that, there are not many users. I don't have an ETA, but don't expect it anytime soon. Besides, installing the regular version on IIS, even on XP Pro, is very easy.

        Hmm, I'll have to give that a try. My home computer is on XP Home, which doesn't have IIS, but should work on my work computer (XP Pro). Thanks for the tip!

                                Congrats, Dario. From this point forward in your business life, the most important thing in each and every day will be marketing. If you can avoid the typical techie urge to bury yourself in the code (you know, the fun part) and instead work tirelessly on promoting and selling your product, you'll be light years ahead of most companies.

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!

                                    Dario, Congratulations on this next big step in the continued life of ScrewTurn. It's a great software, that has strong name recognition on the web, and I hope this will allow you to further its success. D. :thumbsup:

                                      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.

                                      That is good idea, you already have a huge customer base, also they already know your capability so it will be easy to market the new products. Best of Luck ! :) Let me guess those 2 products...hmmm... Project Management and Bug Tracking ??? ;)
