Applications of basic TWiki
Basic TWiki can be used as: |
|
- Webs: A TWikiSite is divided into webs, each one represents an area for collaboration. This site has the following webs:

- To edit pages, you need to be registered (To register just send me an email!).
|
|
- Each user has his own page set up as a Wiki name, i. e. guest (see TWikiUsers)
- Groups can be created to restrict access to certain webs or topics. (see TWikiGroups)
Wiki Culture |
|
-
- In TWiki, they can always recover the old revision and re-instantiate it if they really want to
- Otherwise they should regard your changes as an opportunity for discussion
- Pages in wiki are (usually) in one of three "modes"
|
|
< < | |
> > |
-
- DocumentMode
- ThreadMode
- StructuredMode
|
| TWiki doesn't automatically distinguish between these modes; they are purely semantic. |
|
< < |
- A page in DocumentMode usually comprises a contribution which is written in the third person and left unsigned.
|
> > | DocumentMode
- A page in DocumentMode usually comprises a contribution which is written in the third person and left unsigned.
|
|
- The piece of text is community property
- It may have multiple and changing authors as it is updated to reflect the community consensus.
|
|
> > | |
| |
|
< < | |
> > | ThreadMode |
|
- Thread mode is a form of discussion where the community holds a conversation
- The discussion usually starts out with a statement, at the top of the page, that is subsequently discussed
- The page may be periodically "refactored" (edited) to remove some of the comments
- As long as the comment is accurately reflected in what replaces it, nobody usually minds.
- Remember to always maintain a complete list of contributors, though!
|
|
< < | You may see a comment box on a page in ThreadMode that makes it easy to quickly add your inputs. Typing in a comment and adding it to a page this way is known as "blogging" |
> > | You may see a comment box on a page in ThreadMode that makes it easy to quickly add your inputs. Typing in a comment and adding it to a page this way is known as "blogging"
- ThreadMode is rather like an e-mail thread
|
|
-
- Except that new comments are usually added to the end
|
|
< < | |

- ThreadMode pages often get refactored into DocumentMode
- For example the Forum
|

Structure of a TWiki page
TWiki pages are usually organised into three parts: |
|
- The body contains the text of the page, as entered by you
TWiki is very configurable, and the look can change. However the essentials will all be there on the page (somewhere!) |
|
< < | Editing Pages
- You've read a page, and you disagree with it violently! It says:
Everyone knows that the world is an OblateSpheroid But you know for a fact it is flat!
- You've clicked the edit link, and an edit page has appeared. But it doesn't look much like what was on the page before - it's full of strange hieroglyphics!
_Everyone_ knows that =the world is an OblateSpheroid=
What's in a page
- The hieroglyphics are what's known as "TWiki Markup" or "formatting"
- They are a really simple way of telling the browser how you want the page to look
- You don't have to use them
- TWiki understands pages in plain text just fine.
Actually it is perfectly and absolutely flat
appears as Actually it is perfectly and absolutely flat
|
|
- One special hieroglyph that is very important is a BumpyWord
- a word that starts with uppercase, then some lowercase, then more uppercase (a.k.a CamelCase)
|
|
- This lets you enter the names of topics you think should exist, but don't yet
- You, or someone else, can always come along later and click on the question mark!
|
|
< < | What's Next?
- For more help and information go to the TWiki page and follow the tutorials and user's guides.
- Play with in the Sandbox web. You are free to experiment and make as many mistakes as you want!!
- Add information to you user page (i.e guest), put up your photo, contact details, interests etc, so that other people know you.
- See how can you contribute on all the other webs.
- Spread the word!
