Use the TWiki CGI scripts to create a dynamic web site,
intranet site, or knowledge base; Collaborate with your community
using just a web browser.

“Peter Thoeny announces the availability of TWiki, a web based
collaboration tool. It looks and feels like a normal Intranet or
Internet web site. However it also has a Edit link at the bottom of
every web page, everybody can change a topic or add content. TWiki
is a cgi-bin script written in Perl. It reads a text file,
hyperlinks it and converts it to HTML on the fly. Features include
automatic link generation, full text search, page revision control,
page locking, email notification of changes, file attachments to
web pages, and more. TWiki depends on Unix, Perl 5, RCS and a web
server with CGI (like Apache).”

“TWiki is available for download from the TWiki web-site. The
product is under GPL and can be used for free.”
