Dec 10th, 18:40 UTC
TWiki is a collaboration platform that allows you to run a
dynamic intranet site, a project development space, a
document management system, a knowledge base, an issue
tracking system and many other groupware application.
San Jose, Tuesday, 10-Dec-2001: TWiki announces a new version
of its popular collaboration platform. TWiki looks and feels
like a normal intranet or Web site. In addition, an Edit link
on every page allows users to freely change or create content.
TWiki is installed on the Web server and can be operated from
any Web browser, without requiring special browser plugins.
Major companies like Sun Microsystems, Motorola, Inktomi and
Wind River depend on the TWiki platform to increase the
productivity of their engineering teams.
Features include automatic link generation, full text search,
authorization based on groups, Web form handling, email
notification of changes, file attachments to Web pages,
revision control of pages and attachments, and more. The
server-side TWiki Plugins API provides developers with a simple
way to build new groupware applications. Plugins
available
now include: Spreadsheet, calendar, TOC, and more. Get more
details at http://TWiki.org/.
"The TWiki platform is designed to eliminate the 'one webmaster'
syndrome, where input from many people hits a bottleneck when
only one person is in charge of updates, and intranet content
becomes outdated and inadequate," said Peter Thoeny, creator
and lead developer of TWiki. "Empowering employees to make
changes to the intranet, combined with a peer review of content,
makes sure that content is up-to-date and accurate. Many major
companies in the telecommunication and consumer product
industries depend on TWiki to streamline the information flow
between virtual teams and corporate offices."
TWiki Version 01-Dec-2001 is a minor release and includes
a Formatted Search feature to create database like reports.
TWiki is available for
download from the
TWiki.org web-site.
