Earlier than scheduled, Microsoft has gone public with its announcement of its third open-source code contribution to SourceForge. Microsoft's mystery contribution? FlexWiki. Late Monday evening, SourceForge posted information on Microsoft's FlexWiki code to its software repository. FlexWiki is an experimental collaboration tool based on WikiWiki, which is a tool for collaborating on common Web pages.
According to the FlexWiki Web site, FlexWiki was originally named SharpWiki, and was created by David Ornstein. Ornstein is currently a lead program manager with Microsoft's digital documents group, which is part of the Windows team.
