The %WIKITOOLNAME% web is a web based collaboration tool. 
	* WelcomeGuest tells you more about how to use it.
	* TWiki's home is at http://TWiki.SourceForge.net/

%WIKITOOLNAME% is a cgi-bin script written in Perl. It reads a text file, hyperlinks it and converteds it to HTML on the fly. The point is to:
	* make the text editing process a very simple ( click on the *Edit* link at the bottom of the page ) 
	* and to find information fast ( WebSearch ). 

What does the name TWiki stand for?
	* _Wiki wiki_ means quick in Hawai'ian. They call the shuttle at the Honolulu airport the <A HREF="http://www.quickaid.com/airports/hnl/company/trans_tm.html"> wiki wiki bus</A>. 
	* _TWiki_ is the short form of _TakeFive Wiki_ . (Later on I found out that _Twiki_ is the name of a robot in a <a href="http://www.buck-rogers.com/">Buck Rogers</a> TV show in 1979)

%WIKITOOLNAME% is one of many WikiWikiClones, the first one was built by Ward Cummingham.
