TWiki Description

TWiki is a Web-based collaboration platform. TWiki is a flexible, powerful, and easy to use enterprise collaboration platform. TWiki project is a structured Wiki, typically used to run a project development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on an intranet or on the internet.Web content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser. Developers can create new web applications based on a Plugin API. Here are some key features of "TWiki": · Any web browser: Edit existing pages or create new pages by using any web browser. There is no need for ftp or http put to upload pages. · Edit link: To edit a page, simply click on the Edit link at the bottom of every page. · Auto links: Web pages are linked automatically. You do not need to learn HTML commands to link pages. · Text formatting: Simple, powerful and easy to learn text formatting rules. Basically you write text like you would write an e-mail. · Webs: Pages are grouped into TWiki webs (or collections). This allows you to set up separate collaboration groups. · Search: Full text search with/without regular expressions. See a sample search result. · E-mail notification: Get automatically notified when something has changed in a TWiki web. Subscribe in WebNotify. · Structured content: Use TWiki Forms to classify and categorize unstructured web pages and to create simple workflow systems. · File attachments: Upload and download any file as an attachment to a page by using your browser. This is similar to file attachments in an e-mail, but it happens on web pages. · Revision control: All changes to pages and attachments are tracked. Retrieve previous page revisions and differences thereof. Find out who changed what and when. · Access control: Define groups and impose fine grained read and write access restrictions based on groups and users. · Variables: Use variables to dynamically compose your pages. This allows you for example to dynamically build a table of contents: include other pages; or show a search result embedded in a page. TWiki Plugins: Enhance the TWiki functionality with server side Plugin modules. Developers can create Perl Plugins using the TWiki Plugin API. Some example Plugins: · * ActionTrackerPlugin: Keep track of action items in meeting minutes and notify assignees by e-mail. · * CalendarPlugin: Show a monthly calendar with highlighted events. · * ChartPlugin: Create charts to visualize TWiki tables. · * DatabasePlugin: Get access to data in a database. · * HeadlinesPlugin: Build news portals that show headline news based on RSS news feeds from news sites. · * TWikiDrawPlugin: Use the TWikiDraw Java Applet to create editable drawings embedded in topics. · * SlideShowPlugin: Turn TWiki pages into web-based presentations. · * SpreadSheetPlugin: Add spreadsheet formulae like $SUM($ABOVE()) to TWiki tables. · * more... · Application platform: Developers use the TWiki platform to create web-based applications. The TWiki Variables, Plugins and Plugin API offer a rich environment where domain-specific applications can be built efficiently. An example application is the XpTrackerPlugin which allows teams to track Extreme Programming (XP) projects. · Templates and skins: A flexible templating system separates program logic and presentation. Skins overwrite template headers and footers; page content is unaffected. · Managing pages: Individual pages can be renamed, moved and deleted through the browser. · Managing users: Web based user registration and change of password. · What's new: See recent changes of TWiki webs. The change log can also be exported in XML RSS format for news syndication. · Statistics: Create Statistics of TWiki webs. Find out most popular pages and top contributors. · Preferences: Three levels of preferences: TWikiPreferences for site-level; WebPreferences for each web; and user level preferences. · Topic locking: Users are warned if a page is being edited by an other person. This is to prevent contention, e.g. simultaneous page editing. · Referred-By: Find out back-links to a page. What's New in This Release: · TWiki 4.3.0 released on 2009-03-30 introduces security enhancements, usability enhancements, feature enhancements, and adds extensions to strengthen TWiki as an enterprise collaboration platform.
