TWiki Advocacy for Public Sites
Use this text to promote TWiki for use on a public website:
TWiki is a powerful, and easy to use enterprise wiki, enterprise collaboration platform, and web application platform. It is a Structured Wiki [1], typically used to run a project development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on an intranet, extranet or the Internet. Users without programming skills can create web applications. Developers can extend the functionality of TWiki with plugins. 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lets distributed teams work together seamlessly and productively, and eliminates the one-webmaster syndrome of outdated intranet content.
TWiki has been downloaded over 700,000 times and is used daily by millions of people in over 100 countries. Some larger deployments have over one million pages and over 10,000 users. Major corporations such as Amazon.com, AMD, Cisco Systems, FedEx, Google, IBM, Lufthansa, Morgan Stanley, Motorola, Nokia, Oracle, TI, UBS and many others depend on the TWiki platform to increase the productivity of their teams.
Public web sites such as the NIST Cloud Computing Collaboration Site [3] and the Biowiki of UC Berkeley [4] also use TWiki. Browse the TWiki installation directory [5] to see if someone is already using TWiki for something related to what you have in mind.
Features include automatic link generation, full text search, authorization based on groups, Web form handling, email notification of changes, file attachments to Web pages, revision control of pages and attachments, and more. The server-side TWiki Plugins API provides developers with a simple way to build new groupware applications. A large number of plugins and add-ons enhance the platform with action item tracking, calendaring, charting, database access, two-way RSS news feeds, LDAP connectivity, spreadsheets, XSL transformations, XP tracking, HTML publishing, and more.
The GPLed TWiki software and over 400 extensions can be downloaded from the TWiki.org web site at http://TWiki.org/ .
TWiki has an active developer community [6], good documentation [7] and a helpful support forum [8] where you can get help and advise on your specific needs.

Above text is just a start. Please help in refining the text. And most important, use it to spread the word

I'm not sure I like the word "outgrown" as it makes it sound as if there is not much wiki left in twiki. The only other word I have been able to come up with in its place is "transcended", which sounds a little of full of itself. 
Maybe somebody else has a better thesaurus than I?
