Press Release Summary: Open source wiki platform company and developer of Deki Wiki
to expand focus on enterprise-class integration and mashups

Press Release Body: SAN DIEGO, Feb. 6, 2007 - MindTouch, the open source wiki
platform company and developer of Deki Wiki, announced that open-source leaders
Larry Augustin and Matt Asay have joined its Board of Advisors. Augustin invests and
advises early stage technology companies, and was CEO and founder of VA Linux (now
SourceForge, NASDAQ:LNUX). Asay is general manager, Americas, and VP of Business
Development for Alfresco.

Deki Wiki, the world\'s most popular vendor-backed wiki, is a free enterprise-class
open source wiki and application platform for communities and businesses. Unlike
other wikis, Deki Wiki is an easy-to-use, customizable, and scalable solution to
create, organize, aggregate, mashup and share information. It's a platform for
creating collaborative applications that connect wikis to an existing software or
workflow infrastructure, enhancing productivity across applications and workgroups.

\"MindTouch is enabling businesses to seamlessly connect legacy systems, Web 2.0
applications and Web-services inside an open, extensible wiki framework. Convergence
of information and talent is critical to the modern IT infrastructure,\" said Larry
Augustin. \"The significance of this is apparent by how quickly the community has
rallied around MindTouch's open source technology. I\'m very excited to be part of
this team.\"

Matt Asay added, \"MindTouch is defining a new class of software: the Social
Enterprise Platform. Deki Wiki delivers real value to businesses and offers users
the ability to create and integrate enterprise-class custom applications and mashups
for greater scalability, ease of use and improved workflow, which in turn, can
result in significant cost savings across the entire organization. MindTouch is in a
rapidly growing segment of the market and I look forward to helping them grow
further.\"
