Web 2.0

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Web 2.0 refers to a perceived transition of the World Wide Web ("the Web") from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. The proponents of this thinking expect that ultimately Web 2.0 services will replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.

(Should this be WebTwoPointNaught? We need ArbitraryTopicNames!)

• How about Web2_0? I agree about arbitratry topic names, though, Wikipedia has shown how very useful it is to be able to do this. Subject to filtering in only a few useful punctuation characters and alphabetics for security reasons, we should allow a much wider range of topic names. Struggling to find a WikiWord is sometimes harder than just typing some extra syntax for linking, and such strained WikiWords are unlikely to be stumbled upon by accident. -- RichardDonkin

Where does TWiki help accomplish this?

The open source dictum, "release early and release often" in fact has morphed into an even more radical position, "the perpetual beta," in which the product is developed in the open, with new features slipstreamed in on a monthly, weekly, or even daily basis.
