What is TWiki?
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TWiki is a flexible and powerful web-based collaboration
|
||
|
|
platform that allows you to run a dynamic intranet site, a
|
||
|
|
project development space, a document management system, a
|
||
|
|
knowledge base, an issue tracking system and many other
|
||
|
|
groupware application. TWiki looks and feels like a normal
|
||
|
|
intranet or Web site. Users can freely change or create
|
||
|
|
content from any Web browser, without requiring special
|
||
|
|
browser plugins.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Major companies like British Telecom, Sun Microsystems,
|
||
|
|
Motorola and SAP depend on the TWiki platform to increase
|
||
|
|
the productivity of their engineering teams.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Features include automatic link generation, full text
|
||
|
|
search, authorization based on groups, Web form handling,
|
||
|
|
email notification of changes, file attachments to Web
|
||
|
|
pages, revision control of pages and attachments, and
|
||
|
|
more. The server-side TWiki Plugins API provides developers
|
||
|
|
with a simple way to build new groupware applications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The GPLed TWiki software and over 100 Plugins can be
|
||
|
