The [[Main/WebHome]] web primarily contains information about the [[Main/TWikiUsers]]. The [[TWiki/WebHome]] web primarily contains documentation about TWiki. Each HTML page is called a topic. Each topic has a special "wiki name". Wiki names are assumed to be in the current web unless preceded by the name of a web and a period. For example, the traditional home page of this site is located at [[Hurd/WebHome]] since we started this site with only one web. Due to the success of the site we are in the process of moving and copying topics into webs based on project names. We hope this new arrangement will help in many ways. A generic [WikiWikiWeb](http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WelcomeVisitors), or simply Wiki, is _"a collaborative forum where people can share ideas and record any consensus reached on difficult issues, along with rebuttal.
