I use TWiki for
- Sun's ASIC and Sparc Processor development Intranet portal.
- I contributed most of the Hierarchical Webs code after developing it for the Sun internal ASIC portal.
- Most of these changes have been available since DakarRelease, and I've migrated MegaTWiki to an addon package (still need to post this).
Ways I'd like to see TWiki improved
- Addition of Slick Administration tools (See MegaTWiki)
- Addition of LDAP-based user or group management.
- Addition of faster search engine.
- Movement of major UI functionality out of pattern templates into a stable core template.
