It will be better to provide ability to see the source of the twiki page even if I haven't access to modify the page content.

-- AndrewPorokhin - 2010-09-08

Use the "Raw View" for that.

-- PeterThoeny - 2010-09-08

Have no idea what this is and how this twiki works! Really confusing! Missing some video tutorials or smthng...

-- DimaOmkvist - 2010-09-14

Thanks for the feedback Dima. Yes, a video that introduces the basics would be good. See some at YouTubeVideos, watch "The TWiki Hunter".

-- PeterThoeny - 2010-09-14

I added the TWiki Hunter video to the WhatIsTWiki page. This should help explain the basic use case of TWiki.

-- PeterThoeny - 2010-09-15

Can I build my own application in any technology on top of twiki? What kind of skills will be required for making customiztion on twiki? Is there any documentation available?
