26th Feb 2001

I hate test pages. So I will try and do something a little more useful here. I discovered TWiki by accident while looking for software to help run our support knowledge-base. It's taken a while, but I'm now in a position to start trialing a local TWiki server. I will try and keep this page updated with my findings and experiences as I go along.

First step has been to request a download of the software. Also to try altering this page. I had a quick check of Good Style when I first discovered TWiki, but so I hope some of the links I've created will work.

Hmm, previewing the changes didn't do exactly what I thought it would. Reading the manual is going to be quite important methinks.

Personal Preferences (details in TWikiVariables)

• Horizontal size of text edit box:
  • Set EDITBOXWIDTH = 70
• Vertical size of text edit box:
  • Set EDITBOXHEIGHT = 17
• Default state of the link check box in the attach file page:
  • Set ATTACHLINKBOX =
• Optionally write protect your home page: (set it to your WikiName)
  • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE =
