WikiMatrix / TWiki weakness ?

ini_hendry · 2007-10-11 11:41:59

hi guys..
I 've just been playing with TWiki for several days. And i know that TWiki is using a plain text to store information.

Will it be a problem when if the data stored in the plain text increases ? Maybe the chance to crash ?
Or maybe if there any weakness of TWiki other than that ?
thank you in advance ..

TWiki scales pretty well. I know of several TWiki based intranets with 100K to 250K pages, usually on a single server. TWiki is also pretty resilient, for example for concurrent edits on a load balanced setup.

Plain text has also the advantage that it is easy to pull in data from external sources, such as bug tracking data. Or, if inclined, one of the database integrations [1] can be used to pull data out of relational databases.

TWiki's internal database (with TWikiForms [2] and FormattedSearch [3]) is used to create wiki applications, such as employee databases, inventory systems, blog applications, CRM systems, status boards, outage trackers and more. This is all done on the TML (TWiki Markup Language) level, e.g. no programming is required.

The biggest corporate TWiki I am aware of has now over 450,000 pages.

I wrote a blog post on scalability: http://www.twiki.net/blog_2008-03-25.html
