Working with TWiki

Abstract

Before getting to the components and functions of the start page of TWiki, that is, the first page displayed when the program is opened, we would like to provide a brief explanation of a special feature in TWiki: the webs. A TWiki is divided into several webs. These are self-contained areas in which the pages are located. The nice part about them is that you can more or less operate several small wikis for various project groups, and yet only need a single TWiki installed on your web server. The disadvantage is that, at least at the beginning, it may be a bit confusing – because, once your TWiki is installed, you already have a series of standard webs at your fingertips that exist equally and parallel to each other, but perform diverse functions. For instance, the Sandbox Web enables uninhibited experimentation, while in the TWiki Web, one can determine important settings for the layout, among other realms.
