TWiki - The Wiki Platform

TWiki is an open-source enterprise wiki and collaboration platform:

  • Created: Around 1998 by Peter Thoeny
  • Written in: Perl
  • Key Features: Structured wikis with topics organized in "webs" (namespaces), fine-grained access controls, plugin architecture, and form-based data handling
  • Common Uses: Documentation, project management, knowledge bases, intranets
  • Notable Event: In 2008, there was a community fork that created Foswiki, which split the development community

TWiki uses a different markup syntax than MediaWiki and has a more structured approach to organizing content. It's traditionally been popular in corporate and enterprise environments.
