The TWiki web is a web based collaboration tool.
* [[WelcomeGuest]] tells you more about how to use it.
* TWiki's home is at <http://www.mindspring.com/~peterthoeny/twiki/index.html>
TWiki is a cgi-bin script written in Perl. It reads a text file, hyperlinks it and converteds it to HTML on the fly. The point is to:
* make the text editing process a very simple ( click on the **Edit** link at the bottom of the page )
* and to find information fast ( [[WebSearch]] ).
What does the name TWiki stand for?
* _Wiki wiki_ means quick in Hawai'ian. They call the shuttle at the Honolulu airport the [ wiki wiki bus](http://www.quickaid.com/airports/hnl/company/trans_tm.html).
* _TWiki_ is the short form of _TakeFive Wiki_ . (Later on I found out that _Twiki_ is the name of a robot in a [Buck Rogers](http://www.buck-rogers.com/) TV show in 1979)
TWiki is one of many [[WikiWikiClones]], the first one was built by Ward Cummingham.
Topics of interest:
* [[TWikiEnhancementRequests]] is the place where you can add your enhancement requests.
* [[TWikiPlannedFeatures]] has a list of planned features for upcoming TWiki versions.
* [[TWikiUsers]] has a list of all TWiki users.
* [[TWikiHistory]] shows TWiki's implementation history.
* [[TWikiDocumentation]] is the implementation documentation of TWiki.
**Note:**
* TWiki automatically signs new pages with your [[WikiName]] in case TWiki is running on an Intranet where you log in. In case your TWiki installation does not authenticate users, TWiki does not know about user names, all visitors have the user name [[Main/TWikiGuest]].
* TWiki's source code is available upon request, see <http://www.mindspring.com/~peterthoeny/twiki/index.html>
* This TWiki version is **%WIKIVERSION%** .
