TWiki is a structured wiki, typically used to run a collaboration platform, knowledge or document management system, a knowledge base, or team portal.
Users can create wiki applications using the TWiki Markup Language, and developers can extend its functionality with plugins.
Most of its developers have now moved over to the Foswiki project.
