Question

Hello, Is there documentation about Twiki's architecture and storage management? I want to know how Twiki organize its digital text on disk and handle text editing history. I spent quite a few time and could not find any related topics about it. Could anyone please point me to the right location?

Thanks very much.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

AppendixFileSystem is not the freshest topic, but gives an overview about the filesystem structure. I cannot find specific docco about the storage backend ether, but summerized in a few words it is:

TWiki uses flat text files to store its data. By default it benefits from an external tool named RCS to do the versioning stuff. Attachments are versionized with RCS, too.

If you need a second opinion, please change the SupportStatus back to unanswered.
