- There's no doubt that, to most people, TWiki at first seems almost the opposite of how the Web and online communications "normally" work. Why?
- TWiki operates like a whiteboard for the Web - it lets you and all other users write, place pictures and post links, anywhere on any page.
- Not only that, everyone can EDIT anything, anywhere on a page.
- At first, this may seem "too" open - it soon becomes second-nature, allowing you the freedom to edit and update the way you want to.

- TWiki's parsing engine is written in Perl. It reads a text file, and converts TWiki shorthand into standard HTML, on the fly. The point is to:
- make adding and editing text simple _(How simple? Click on the **Edit** link at the bottom of the page...)_
- TWiki is one of many [[WikiWikiClones]], based on Ward Cunningham's original [Wiki Wiki Web](http://c2.com/).

- _Wiki wiki_ means "quick" in Hawaiian. The shuttle at Honolulu Airport is called the _wiki wiki_ bus, which is where the original Wiki web got its name.
-- _TWiki_ is short for _TakeFive Wiki_, the name of the company where its founder worked. (It was later discovered that _Twiki_ is also the name of an AI robot that co-starred in the [_Buck Rogers..._](http://www.buck-rogers.com/) movie and TV series from 1979 - see TWiki in the logo.)
