 So how do I add NewCard project to this TWiki?
 

Go into the CurrentProjects area and edit the page.

Add a WikiWord that's something like NewCard.  You'll see that
when you're done editing the new word shows up as an incomplete
link (It has a ? at the end).  Click on the ? and then you get a fresh page.

Add whatever you like to it.

Later,
George

Would you mind changing the description of the twiki to something else
than where all FreeBSD collaboration happens?  It might give people
the wrong impression.

Sure.  Suggestions?  I don't mind what people put into this, that's much of 
the point.
It's just a place holder.  Remember, anyone can edit, it's social pressure 
that keeps
things from a state of chaos.

Anyways, what would people like?

Sounds good.  Check that in there.

 BTW, why don't you want a FreeBSD WikiTerm?
 

Well it's a bit odd.  Anywhere you put the word FreeBSD lights up as a link.
I guess we could put a generic page under it or something but it's
annoying (to me at least) to see FreeBSD as a link everywhere when it's
mostly just a name.

Pfooey.  That's just the way Wiki works :)

TWiki as promised...

2002-02-22 Thread George V. Neville-Neil

Hi Folks,

In an attempt to help out with coordination on projects I've put up a 
TWiki (see www.twiki.org for info on TWiki) site on my web server.  As a guest
you can read but not update, you have to register to update content.
There is a Freebsd web and it has 1 topic which is the SMP project.  I have put
the entire page from http://www.freebsd.org/smp/ into TWiki.  The local
references on that page (i.e. the href:./foo.txt stuff) are now external 
references
but we could fix that.

A few notes might be helpful.

1) Why did you do this?

TWiki (and Wiki's in general) allow people to easily update centralized web 
content
without haveing to have real logins on the web serving computer.  This makes
keeping things like worklists trivial.  The language used by TWiki is
NOT HTML but a clever subset that requires a lot less work.  For instance
a table looks like this:

| Task | Responsible | Date|
| Task 1| GeorgeNevilleNeil| 2 March 2002 |

This will get translated into a nice, simple HTML table by the TWiki stuff.

2) What do I have to do to use this?

To read the stuff just go to:

http://www.neville-neil.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome

and click on the Freebsd label.

To update you must register.  Go to the main page and register yourself.
The passwords are encrypted but I WOULD NOT use my system password
here.  Actually, I'd like it if you didn't use any important password there, I
don't want to be responsible for y'all in that way.

3) How do I learn more about TWiki?

Go to www.twiki.org

In particular check out:   http://TWiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Main/TWikiPresentation
s

to see why and how we should be using TWiki.

ONE FINAL NOTE.  TWiki uses WordsLikeThis to denote automatic links.
This means that FreeBSD is an automatic link.  If you MUST type FreeBSD
then put a nop before it on the page.  I'm working with the author to come
up with a way to make it so that FreeBSD never gets converted within our
TWiki Web.

Later,
George

Well, you're the only one to use it thus far so let's see what others think
as well.

Thanks for checking it out though.
