Welcome to TWiki, a flexible, powerful, and easy to use enterprise collaboration platform and knowledge management system. It is a Structured Wiki, typically used to run a project development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on an intranet or on the internet. Web content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser.
A wiki is a Web 2.0 platform to create, share and remix content. TWiki as a structured wiki goes a step further; it enables users to automate their workflow by creating custom tailored wiki applications.
Companies are deploying TWiki in different ways, and TWiki is quite flexible to adapt to different needs. Here is a non- comprehensive list of how TWiki is being used:
To replace a static intranet. Content is maintained by the employees, thus eliminating the "one webmaster syndrome" of outdated and insufficient intranet content.
As a knowledge base and FAQ system. The TWikiSuccessStoryOfTakeFive tells you more about that.
To design and document software projects.
To track issues (i.e. bugs) and features. TWiki itself is managed this way; more on that in the Codev web.
As a document management tool.
To collaborate on common goals, i.e. the Helsinki Institute of Physics Technology Programme web portal.
As a software archive, i.e. the TWiki Plugins archive.
As a company internal message board, i.e. for job listings.

Note: I now realize this is a duplicate of http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/53 ... but the installers of that version gave extremely little background information. If VMware persons could combine these??
