  This is an extremely quick introduction to using Wiki and TWiki.  The "real" introduction (which you should read when you get time) is at TWiki.WelcomeGuest.

---++ Essential Concepts

   * Wiki is an approach to web-based colaboration
   * TWiki is the specific Wiki software we use
   * The TWiki system is divided into major sections, called "Webs"
   * Each web consists of web pages called "Topics"
   * Topic pages are mostly plain text, with a few special TWiki.TextFormattingRules
   * Topics are named by using a "WikiWord"

---++ Creating and Editing Topics

  You need to be one of the Main.TWikiUsers to make changes.  You can self-register there.

  Click the "Edit" link at the bottom of an existing Topic to make changes to that page.

  To create a new Topic:
   1 Edit an existing Topic.
   1 Add a reference to the soon-to-be topic, complete with a TWiki.WikiWord.
   1 Save you changes.
   1 Click the question mark (?) next to your newly-created TWiki.WikiWord.

---++ Text Formatting Basics

   * Paragraphs are separated by multiple sequential linebreaks
   * Bare URLs are automatically turned into hyperlinks
   * Typing a TWiki.WikiWord in the text automatically creates a hyperlink
   * Use "WebName.TopicName" to link between webs
   * Look at this page's source (see link at bottom) to learn by example
