Foswiki Contribs

Overview

• extend the functionality of Foswiki, in a lower-level way than plugins,
• or provide alternative implementations for sections of the Foswiki core e.g. user management, or when an extension just can't be implemented as a plugin because it requires very close access to Foswiki internals,
• or they might provide other files that Foswiki uses, for example language files,
• or they might be packages of topics that implement a "Wiki Application", using the wiki macro language, TML.
