Welcome, TWikiGuest!

Mission: "TWiki is a leading-edge, web-based collaboration platform targeting the corporate intranet world. TWiki fosters information flow within an organization; lets distributed teams work together seamlessly and productively; and eliminates the one-webmaster syndrome of outdated intranet content."

Welcome, TWikiGuest!

1. Read: You can treat this site like any other. Browse, and follow interesting links. A couple of hints:
   • web: A TWikiSite is divided into webs; each one represents one subject, one area of collaboration. You can reach any web from the links in the upper right corner of every page.
   • topic: Each web is made up of hyperlinked topics - TWikiTopics that appear in your browser.
   • What's new: Visit WebChanges in any TWiki web to see what other people are discussing and what's been added most recently.
2. Create an Account: To be able to write new content on this site, you'll need to create an account for yourself. It's simple, and only takes a minute: just visit TWikiRegistration and fill out the form. This will also create your personal home page.
3. Write: If you have something to say, speak your mind! Anyone can change or add to anything they see written in a TWiki topic. You can edit a topic from within your browser, using TWikiShorthand, a very simple markup language (you can also use HTML if you like, but you'll usually find you can get the same results more easily with TWikiShorthand). To contribute:
   • click the Edit link at the bottom of the page, edit the text, and then
   • click the [ Preview Changes ] button at the bottom of the page to see what your topic will look like (use your brower's Back button if you want to make changes), and finally
   • click the [ Save Changes ] to save what you did.
4. Do you find this...scary?! Anybody can do anything! That's not how things are usually done. It's...uncontrollable. And yet, collaborating in the Wiki way works! Try it out for even a couple of minutes. Take a look at WikiCulture. (And then, with TWiki, you can define fine-grained TWikiAccessControl, based on users and groups, whenever and wherever you feel its necessary, across a site, a web, or page by page, if you like. And there's also full revision control that retains all changes, for good measure!)
5. Experiment: To get your virtual hands dirty, visit Sandbox web, where you can try out anything at all, in a consequence-free environment!
6. Create a link: To link to another topic, start by editing an existing topic.
   • To create a link to a topic that already exists, type its JoinCapitalizedWords name (topics are automatically linked if they are WikiWords, names composed of two or more words with initial capitals, run together).
   • To create a link to a page that does not yet exist, make up and enter a NeverBeforeUsedPhrase. You are encouraged to include WikiWords in your content, for others to fill out later.
   • When you've saved the topic, and redisplayed it, the references to existing topics will be linked and the references to topics that don't exist will be followed by a linked "?" (question mark).
7. Create a topic:
   • To write something up for a new topic, click on the "?" (question mark) that follows a WikiWord.
   • To create a free-floating topic - a topic that is not linked from anywhere - type its WikiWord in the entry field at the top of any page. If the topic already exists you'll then be taken to it. If it doesn't exist, you'll then have the option to create it.
8. See the history of a topic: Click the Diffs link on the control strip at the bottom of every page to see a complete history of edits for that topic.
9. Attach files: Use your browser to upload and attach any type of file to a topic using the Attach link at the bottom of the page.
10. Organize: Use TWikiForms to include specific information with individual topics - for example, classify pages by subject, status, or date.
