The former JotSpot provided wiki hosting, aka a wiki farm, for enterprise[1] and personal wiki sites. It included a blog, project management tool, bug tracker, and discussion forum. JotSpot was also a downloadable wiki engine; which included a WYSIWYG wiki editor, e-mail integration, full text and attachment search, sharable web spreadsheets, numerous other features, and also offered a behind the firewall wiki appliance.[2][3] JotSpot[2] is the article for the main community feedback wiki, whereas JotSpot Developer[3] wiki is for the JotSpot developer community.
At its height, JotSpot could boast an impressive customer base, which included: eBay, Intel, Oxford University Press, Roxor Games, Ruckus Wireless, Symantec, Wingate Studios.[4]
The entire JotSpot wiki company, JotSpot, Inc., was taken over by Google during October 2006,[5] and existing JotSpot wiki sites were supposed to be transferred over to Google Sites, however, none seem to survive today. Original JotSpot sites will be available as an archive at the InternetArchive WaybackMachine at Archive.org, and / or Archive Today at archive.is.
During June 2016, Google announced the introduction of a complete rebuild of the Google Sites platform, named the 'new Google Sites', along with transition schedule from the legacy, or 'classic Google Sites'.[6][7][8] The 'new Google Sites' abandoned all use of JotSpot technology, in favour of its own proprietary software. On 13 August 2020, the New Google Sites became the default option for website creation.
