February 1, 2006 (Press Release) --
San Jose, California, 01 Feb 2006 - TWiki.org today announced version 4.0 of its popular enterprise collaboration platform TWiki. The structured wiki features highly-requested features including a WYSIWYG editor, an enhanced security model, and a REST (representational state transfer) interface, among others. TWiki release 4.0 is immediately available through http://twiki.org/.
"The TWiki Dakar team has been working relentlessly to make this release available for the many thousand organizations using our free collaboration software," said TWiki founder Peter Thoeny who manages the open-sourced project for the last seven years. He adds, "I'm very excited about the new features it offers. I believe that our new WYSIWYG editor will encourage more people to use TWiki. We've also added features that will strengthen TWiki's position as a platform to build and run wiki applications. Hopefully this will encourage more non-programmers to build functionality customized to their needs."
Jon Bultmeyer, Director Engineering, Identity Provisioning at Novell, Inc. agrees, "Novell looks forward to this next release of TWiki. Novell uses TWiki as a central knowledge repository that facilitates knowledge sharing among our globally dispersed engineering teams. TWiki has increased our productivity by making it easier to both post and consume the information needed to coordinate activities, transfer best practices, and work on innovative projects."
Additional features in TWiki 4.0 include a simple install and configuration, integrated session support, fine grained change notification, parameterized includes, search enhancements, and translations for Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Portugese and Spanish.
