Documentation is everyone's job

• Browsing documents is easy, just click on the links like any other web page.
• The real magic of TWiki is that anyone can edit any page at any time.
• If you see something that is incorrect or out-of-date: fix it!
• If you can't find documentation, add it!

To edit, you must first create an account

• Go to the TWikiRegistration page and fill out the form as follows:
• First & Last Name: Rudy Albachten
• Your WikiName: RudyAlbachten (Note: No spaces and capitalize first and last name)
• Your password: its_a_secret
• Email address: rudy@albachten.com
• Everything else is optional

To edit an existing page

• Click on the word "Edit" at the top or bottom of the page
• Edit the text for that page
  • You can use raw text, special wiki text, or even html
  • Simple wiki formatting is described at the bottom of the page while editing
• When you've finished editing, click on "Save" or "cancel" at the bottom of the page

To add a new page

• Pages are almost always named using WikiWords
  • A WikiWord starts with a capital letter and has a mix of capital and lowercase letters with at least one capital letter in the middle of the word
• Edit an existing page that will point to the new page and add a WikiWord for the new topic (e.g MyNewPage)
• When a page has a WikiWord it automatically is a link to a page by that name
• If no page exists by that name, you'll see a '?' after the name. Click on the '?' and it will create an editing session for the new page

What's a "Web"

• Twiki refers to the highest level sets of documents as "Webs". We have the following webs:
  • Main: user accounts and sitewide information
  • Chandelle: pages relating to the ChandelleFlyingClub
  • Sandbox: area reserved for experiments and learning
  • TWiki: TWiki documentation and software settings
  • Trash: Trash area - documents aren't normally deleted, they are moved into the Trash web instead
• The only web we typically will edit is the Chandelle web
