TWiki Enterprise Collaboration Platform
TWiki is a flexible, powerful, and easy to use enterprise collaboration platform. It is a Structured Wiki, typically used to run a project development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on an intranet or on the internet. Web content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser. Users without programming skills can create web applications. Developers can extend the functionality of TWiki with Plugins. Administrators can tailor their TWiki installation with over 200 Plugins and add-ons available from TWiki.org.
TWiki with Plugins and add-ons has many features not compared in the WikiMatrix, such as action tracking, barcode generation, blogging, calendaring, charting, conditional text, database access, Extreme Programming tracking, global search & replace, image gallery, LaTeX support, mail into wiki pages, page hierarchy, platform to build wiki applications, slideshow presentations, spreadsheet calculations, table editor, tagging, web form handling and reporting (with TWikiForms and FormattedSearch), word alias support, XML and XSL transformations, and more.
