## 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.
**_Mission: "TWiki is a leading-edge, web-based collaboration platform targeting the corporate intranet world. TWiki fosters information flow within an organization; lets distributed teams work together seamlessly and productively; and eliminates the one-webmaster syndrome of outdated intranet content."_**
"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.
**How TWiki Works**
1. **Browse** This is a site like other sites. Read and follow interesting links.
- **web:** A [[TWikiSite]] is divided into webs, each one represents an area for collaboration. Your site has the following webs: %WIKIWEBLIST%
- **topic:** Each web is made up of hyperlinked topics ([[TWikiTopics]]) that appear in your browser.
- **WebChanges:** in each TWiki web to find what's new
2. **Write** Speak your mind! From your browser you can change or add to anything you see in a TWiki topic. Use regular text, HTML or [[TWikiShorthand]]. To contribute:
- **Create An Account** To be able to edit or write new content, you'll need to create an account for yourself. It's simple, and only takes a minute. [[TWikiRegistration]] This will also create your personal home 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 ]**
3. **Don't worry!** It can be scary at first to change "public" content. Please just try it. _Revision control_ keeps all content, nothing is lost. For special cases, [[access control|Main/TWikiAccessControl]] is available yet you may find you don't need it in most cases. You'll soon see how successful [[WikiCulture]] works in this kind of collaboration environment. This is new. Just try to relax.
4. **Experiment** Edit your personal page or visit the [[Sandbox|Sandbox/WebHome]] web.
1. **Link** To link to another topic, start by editing an existing topic.
- To create a link to an existing topic type its **JoinCapitalizedWords**
name. [[WikiWords]] (two or more capitalized words run together) link automatically.
- To create a link to a new topic, enter a newly **UsedPhrase**
.
- When previewing, the links show and "?" (question marks) are used to create topics.
- Another way to create a topic is to type it's [[WikiWord]] in the Go box or URL.
2. **Topic history** click **Diffs**
at the bottom of a topic
3. **Attach files** click **Attach**
to upload and attach any type of file.
5. **Organize:** You can learn to use [[TWikiForms]] and [[FormattedSearch]]es to include topic information - for example, classify pages by subject, status, or date.
6. **Learn more** [[TWikiTutorial]] is a 20-minute tour of TWiki essentials. [[WikiReferences]] links to selected articles and books about Wiki technology and online collaboration.
