1. Friday (25 Apr 2008): TWiki meetup in Delft, Holland

Next Friday afternoon will be the second TWiki meetup in Holland. We will be guests at the technical university in Delft, at the department of policy and management. If you haven't already, indicate your presence on the RSVP list. Where the first meetup proved to be very short with just 2 hours, this second meetup will have the possibility to run longer, with lots of room for discussion and knowledge exchange.

4. Why there should be a Wiki integrated into every Intranet

5. Branch development with SVK

Sometime ago I started the TWikiStandAlone project and one of the first problems I faced was "which code base should I use?" Since I would create a branch, I thought to use 4.1.2, the last stable release at that time, but this approach had some problems: Some changes I needed were already performed at MAIN branch, but not at 4.1.2 When finished, it would be difficult to merge with MAIN.
