I guess you must not have received my reply to this email previously.
1. FlexWiki is an open source project. As such it is both free (as in
beer) and ships with source code. We use the CPL, so you are free to make
changes and to incorporate the product into a commercial application.
2. We do have database support (SQL Server) in the current release
version of FlexWiki (1.8). Version 2.0 is in Beta, and SQL support there is
not yet complete. But I'm working on it now and it won't be too much longer.
We have graphical and command-line tools for creating the necessary database
tables and objects (of which there aren't many: it's a pretty simple
database).
3. The codebase is entirely C#. We will support SQL Server 2005 in
version 2.0. It may work with 1.8 - I can't think of any reason why it
wouldn't, but I haven't tested it. I'm not sure what you mean by being able
to edit tables - you change the table structure and you're going to break
FlexWiki, unless you're talking about changing tables that FlexWiki doesn't
use.
Personally, I think it's just easier to use the filesystem to store wiki
data, especially if your organization doesn't have DBA capacity. In that
case, either 1.8 or 2.0 will work for you right now. 2.0 has a few more
features (notably more fine-grained security), but performance is worse due
to the fact that we haven't spent any time tuning it yet. By release, our
goal is that 2.0 should be at parity with 1.8.

Subject: [Flexwiki-users] Questions regarding the FlexWiki Software
Dear Support Group,
My company is looking in to the idea of purchasing your product and using it
on our future web page design. We are deeply interested in your software and
would like to ask a couple basic questions:
1 - Do we have access to the source code? In the event that we want to
customize a portion of the code to feed into our code infrastructure, are we
able to get to all code/objects for re-tooling? If you provide "hidden
source code", are we allowed to modify the parameters needed to tie in to
the wrapper?
2 - Does your software come with a database model on the back-end? We are in
the process of hiring a DBA, but we are not finding much luck. Therefore, we
are anticipating a need for the chosen software to be able to provide us
with the necessary tables and DBMS needed for success.
3 - What language is the source code written in? C#, .Net, Java? If you can
use it with a database, can that database be SQL Server 2005? We want to be
able to see/edit database tables, therefore we need to know if we can alter
anything? And, we need to know if it fits in our Technology
Architecture....We are a Microsoft environment.
Jason
