Our next SV TD SIG meeting will be on Wednesday, May 30, 2001. The Internet offers many different types of collaboration, like e-mail, mailing lists, Usenet and proprietary systems like Notes. WikiWiki style collaboration can solve some of the limitations of traditional systems.
Corporations can use it to create groupware applications for their intranet.
TWiki enables teams to collaboratively maintain a set of web pages by using just a web browser. Web pages are linked automatically, which results in a web that has a strong context. The tool also versions web pages and categorizes them. Fine grained access control can be defined based on groups. TWiki has a plugin API that allows a programmer to enhance the TWiki platform without changing the core Perl code.
