It 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. Users without programming skills can create web applications.
Developers can extend the functionality of TWiki with Plugins.
The real-time page editing system allows to keep the site always updated, either by a registered user, or by opening it up to the community.
Here are some key features of "TWiki":
· Edit existing pages or create new pages by using any web browser. There is no need for ftp or http put to upload pages.
· Do not need to learn HTML commands to link pages.
· All changes to pages and attachments are tracked. Retrieve previous page revisions and differences thereof. Find out who changed what and when.
· Define groups and impose fine grained read and write access restrictions based on groups and users.
· The TWiki Variables, Plugins and sample applications offer a rich environment where domain-specific applications can be built efficiently by contributors with moderate skill sets. Developers can create new Plugins to enhance the functionality of TWiki even further.
· Skins overwrite template headers and footers; page content is unaffected.
