Welcome to Foswiki!

Welcome to Foswiki! This site is a meeting place to work on common interests. Anyone can contribute using any web browser. Foswiki looks like a normal web site... except that it encourages contribution and editing of pages, questions, answers, comments and updates.

"Wiki" systems are fundamentally editable web pages. It's a fun and useful way of communicating asynchronously over the web for many existing intranet and public internet sites. Foswiki is simple to learn and use. It aims to provide a transparent way for you to publish and exchange your ideas with others over the web. You will find more about wikis in general at Wiki Culture.

So what is it that you can do?

• Browse. This is a site like other sites. Read and follow interesting links.
• Write. Speak your mind! From your browser you can change or add to anything you see in a Foswiki topic. Use regular text or wiki syntax.
• Try. Do not worry that anything could go wrong. When you change a topic, its previous versions are saved and can be recovered.
• Start to figure it out. Some good places to start:
  • Beginners Start Here is a short introduction training course for beginners.
  • Twenty Minute Tutorial is a 20-minute tour of Foswiki essentials.
  • Wiki Culture gives the 3,000 metre view popular with senior management.
