SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! 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 Macintosh Hypercard, via 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
SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! TWiki Wiki
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
- led by TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny
- with over 100 regular contributors in many countries
SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! Where is it used? TWiki is mainly used in commercial environments, often on corporate intranets
- Examples: Disney, British Telecom, SAP, Wind River, Motorola, Epic Games

SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! TWiki Features TWiki builds on the original Wiki concept and adds a number of features that make it very useful in a business environment.
- TWiki pages are fully revision controlled, so a record of every change to every page is kept
r6 < r5 < r4 - The look-and-feel is highly configurable, through use of templates
-
- A "plugins" interface eases
- customisation
- extension
- application integration

- ( truth is, we don't really know its limits!)
SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! Structure of this TWiki- Webs: A TWikiSite is divided into webs, each one represents an area for collaboration. This site has the following webs:
Web Use to... CfdTm Learn about the group and its research GarteurAG54 Main ...collaborate on the ATAAC project Main-old Access to the group webs RaLESin ...collaborate on the ATAAC project Sandbox TWiki TestWeb This table is updated automatically based on WebPreferences settings of the individual webs. - Topics: Each web is made up of hyperlinked topics that appear in your browser
SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! Users and Groups- 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)
SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! Wiki Culture How is a wiki actually used ? Well, that's really up to you, but there are a number of tricks that the wiki community has developed for collaborative writing that work pretty well:- What can I edit?
- Anything. But it's good etiquette to sign your contributions
- If someone doesn't want you to edit a page, it's up to them to say so, clearly, on the page
- But what if somebody doesn't like my edits?
- 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
SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! 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.
- For example, the Code_Saturne Frequently Asked Questions
SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! 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!
- 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
SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! StructuredMode- A page in StructuredMode follows some predefined structure for example
- An agenda
- A set of meeting minutes
- A requirement description.
- Pages in StructuredMode will usually have rules governing how they are edited.
- For example the CFD meetings:
SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! Structure of a TWiki page TWiki pages are usually organised into three parts:- A header
- A body
- A footer
- The header and the footer are generated by the system
- The body contains the text of the page, as entered by you
SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! WikiWords- 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 has a special meaning to TWiki; if it matches the name of another topic, TWiki will automatically create a link to that page for you.
- If there is no such page, then the word is highlighted and a question mark is put after the word, LikeThis
- If you click on the question mark, then TWiki will invite you to create that page.
- 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!
SlideShowPlugin Error: Slide template topic Main.JuanSlideTemplate not found or empty! The Code_Saturne TWiki Web- Alias at http://saturne.cfdtm.org
