# Welcome, Main.admin! Welcome to %WIKITOOLNAME%! This is a [[TWikiSite]] (pronounced _twee-kee site_), a meeting place to work on common interests. Anyone can contribute using any web browser. %WIKITOOLNAME% looks like a normal web site... except that it encourages contribution and **editing** of pages, questions, answers, comments and updates. "Wiki" systems are fundamentally editable web pages. It's a fun and useful way of communicating asynchronously over the web for many existing intranet and public Internet sites. TWiki is simple to learn and use. It aims to provide a transparent way for you to publish and exchange your ideas with others over the web.
## What's in a TWiki? - **Webs:** A [[TWikiSite]] is divided into webs, each one represents an area for collaboration. This site has the following webs: - **Topics:** Each web is made up of hyperlinked [[topics|Main/TWikiTopics]] that appear in your browser. ## Some things to do - **Browse.** This is a site like other sites. Read and follow interesting links. - **Write.** Speak your mind! From your browser you can change or add to anything you see in a TWiki topic. Use regular text or [[TWikiShorthand]]. - **Experiment.** Edit your personal page or visit the [[Sandbox|Sandbox/WebHome]] web. - **Organize.** You can learn to use [[TWikiForms]] and [[FormattedSearch]]es to include topic information - for example, classify pages by subject, status, or date. - **Learn more.** Some good places to start: - [[TWikiTutorial]] is a 20-minute tour of TWiki essentials. - [[ATasteOfTWiki]] is a short introduction training course for beginners. - [[WikiReferences]] links to selected articles and books about wiki technology and online collaboration. - [[WikiSyntax]] - simple syntax for edits - [[GoodStyle]] - recommendations for edits ## Some basics ### Editing a page: - click **Edit** at the bottom of any topic and make your changes - click **[ Preview Changes ]** at the bottom to verify the topic (use your brower's **Back** button if necessary) - click **[ Save Changes ]** You've now edited the topic! ### Creating a page See a question mark link "?" behind a WikiWord?
