Welcome, TWikiAdminGroup!

Welcome to TWiki! This is a TWikiSite (pronounced twee-kee site), a meeting place to work on common interests. Anyone can contribute using any web browser. TWiki 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. TWiki 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.

What's in a TWiki?

• Webs: A TWikiSite is divided into webs, each one represents an area for collaboration. This site has the following webs: Admins, AtlasSoftware, BNLTWiki, LocalAdmin, Main, Projects, ProofXrootd, Support, TWiki, TemplateWeb, Trash, USATLASMain
• Topics: Each web is made up of hyperlinked topics that appear in your browser.

Some things to 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 TWiki topic. Use regular text or TWikiShorthand.
• Experiment. Edit your personal page or visit the Sandbox? web.
• Organize. You can learn to use TWikiForms and FormattedSearches to include topic information - for example, classify pages by subject, status, or date.
