JotSpot Is Free for Open Source Projects
JotSpot is now free for open source projects! We’ve been wanting to offer this for a while now, but we’ve been waiting for guest user (i.e. anonymous) support, which just arrived with the latest update. Jot benefits greatly from open source software, and this is one way we can give back. And because a JotSpot wiki is provided as a hosted service, open source projects not only get the bits free, they get the server hosting and management free as well – the whole enchilada. (Note that we’re still in beta, but this offer is through GA and beyond… )
You can go here and get your site in a minute or two. Just be aware of the fine print:
1) Your project must be open source. 2) Your JotSpot wiki must be public, i.e. it must be configured to allow anonymous guest readers. (how to: more actions->global settings, then enable guests to ‘read pages’) 3) You gotta send an email (scott at jot.com) and let us know about 1) and 2) above so we don’t start asking you for money!
Besides being a hosted service, other cool features include look and feel customization through CSS and the ability to create Jot apps like forums, knowledge bases, project planners, blogs, etc. You can even use or build on apps from our gallery or Jot community site.
Give us a whirl if your project might benefit from an application wiki.

Open Source Whoring
JotSpot, like others as Jira & Confluence, Clover and IDEA, are offering free licenses to open source projects. After the usual blah-blah stating they like open source, and use a lot of it, they’ve now decided to use open source projects as their…

JotSpot announces free service for Open Source projects
JotSpot just announced free service for open source projects. Good for them. And this is somewhat more significant that just free software licenses: they’re actually volunteering to pay all the secondary costs: hosting, bandwidth, admin,

I rather enjoyed reading Mike’s reaction (from Atlassian) to being called an ‘Open Source Whore’. Well said, Mike.
