TWiki and Wiki Spreadsheets
The open source TWiki Enterprise Collaboration Platform [1] offers spreadsheet capabilities in wikis already for a couple of years with the SpreadSheetPlugin [2]. Together with EditTablePlugin [3] you get editable tables that may include spreadsheet formulae. The ChartPlugin [4] is used to visualize tabular data. Data can also be pulled from a database using DBIQueryPlugin [5] or DatabasePlugin [6] and summarized with spreadsheet formulae.

Many companies are using these TWiki features to collaboratively work on spreadsheet content. If you want to try it out you are invited to register on TWiki.org [7] and create pages with spreadsheets in the Sandbox web [8].

TWiki is a flexible, powerful, and easy to use enterprise collaboration platform. It is a Structured Wiki, typically used to run a project development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on an intranet or on the internet. Web content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser. Users without programming skills can create web applications. Developers can extend the functionality of TWiki with Plugins. Administrators can tailor their TWiki installation with over 200 Plugins and add-ons available from TWiki.org.
