They're Web sites anyone can edit -- and they could transform Corporate America
When software developer Nicholas Pisarro Jr. saw his first wiki late last year, he knew it was unlike any Web site he had ever seen. On the site, a free online encyclopedia called Wikipedia, thousands of volunteers had written a breathtaking 500,000 articles in 50 languages since 2001 -- all thanks to the defining feature of wikis. To contribute, all they had to do to was click on an "edit this page" button and start typing.
Yllä ote Businessweek lehden artikkelista ja seuraavaksi ote Twikin web sivustolta:

Use TWiki 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. Developers can create new web applications based on a Plugin API. Tell a Friend
"TWiki ... is ... powerful" said Jon Udell, a BYTE.com editor. "Among other things, TWiki eases one of the concerns about classic Wiki, which is that the radically egalitarian "edit this page" scheme leaves no change log. TWiki includes powerful revision support. Every change leaves a footprint, and you can follow these easily and effectively."
Twiki ei sinänsä liity webinaareihin suoraan, mutta enemmänkin uusien asioiden mahdollistajana.
Twikistä ja sen mahdollisuuksista kannattaisi tehdä opiskelijaprojekti IDMB-ohjelman puitteissa. Uudet opiskelijaprojektit käynnistyvät syksyllä ja vielä nyt olisi varmaan mahdollista saada ryhmä sieltä joka tutustuisi aiheeseen ja lähtisi miettimään + suunnittelemaan ao. tekniikan mahdollisuuksia Dipolin toiminnassa. Suosittelen!
