As a guest you can read but not update, you have to register to update content. There is a Freebsd web and it has 1 topic which is the SMP project. I have put the entire page from http://www.freebsd.org/smp/ into TWiki. The local references on that page (i.e. the href:./foo.txt stuff) are now external references but we could fix that. A few notes might be helpful. 1) Why did you do this? TWiki (and Wiki's in general) allow people to easily update centralized web content without haveing to have real logins on the web serving computer. This makes keeping things like worklists trivial. The language used by TWiki is NOT HTML but a clever subset that requires a lot less work. For instance a table looks like this: | Task | Responsible | Date| | Task 1| GeorgeNevilleNeil| 2 March 2002 | This will get translated into a nice, simple HTML table by the TWiki stuff. 2) What do I have to do to use this? To read the stuff just go to: http://www.neville-neil.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome and click on the Freebsd label. To update you must register. Go to the main page and register yourself. The passwords are encrypted but I WOULD NOT use my system password here. Actually, I'd like it if you didn't use any important password there, I don't want to be responsible for y'all in that way. 3) How do I learn more about TWiki? Go to www.twiki.org In particular check out: http://TWiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Main/TWikiPresentation s to see why and how we should be using TWiki. ONE FINAL NOTE. TWiki uses WordsLikeThis to denote automatic links. This means that FreeBSD is an automatic link. If you MUST type FreeBSD then put a before it on the page. I'm working with the author to come up with a way to make it so that FreeBSD never gets converted within our TWiki Web. Later, George -- George V.
