%META:TOPICINFO{author="TWikiContributor" date="1152149335" format="1.1" version="1.2"}% This is a short introductory training course for TWiki beginners. %SLIDESHOWSTART{template="ATasteOfTWikiTemplate"}% ---++ A Taste of TWiki
The basic function of TWiki is a Wiki (if that helps!) A Wiki is like a web site, except that you can edit the content in your browser * "Wiki" is short for "wiki wiki", the Hawaiian for "Quick" * The idea originates from [[http://www.hyperdictionary.com/computing/hypercard][Macintosh Hypercard]], via [[http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WardCunningham][Ward Cunningham]] * In Ward's words, Wiki is _"the simplest online database that could possibly work"_ * A Wiki is basically a shared, online, persistent whiteboard |
TWiki implements the basic Wiki idea of a shared whiteboard
* Anyone can add content ... or change what is written ... or change the organisation of the content * Whatever what you write is ... nicely presented ... remembered... and never forgotten |
