Welcome, TWikiGuest! Welcome to ReiberLabs! This is a TWikiSite (pronounced twee-kee site), a meeting place to work on common interests. Anyone with an account here can contribute. "Wiki" systems are fundamentally editable web pages. It's a fun and useful way of communicating over the web. 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. On this page: What's in a TWiki?

What's in a TWiki?

• Webs: A TWikiSite is divided into webs, each one represents a workspace for collaboration. This site has the following webs: Code, Linux, Main, Projects, Projects.Research, Projects.Smalltalk, Projects.Smalltalk.Squeak, Robots, Robots.Companies, Robots.Events, Robots.Groups, Robots.Groups.First, Robots.Publications, Robots.Techniques, Sandbox, Sandbox.Testing, TWiki
• Topics: Each web is made up of hyperlinked topics (wiki pages) 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. Modify content with an easy to use WYSIWYG editor.
• Experiment. Visit the Sandbox web and create as many topics as you like.
• Organize. You can learn to use TWikiForms and formatted searches with SQL-like queries to include topic information - for example, classify pages by subject, status, or date.
• Learn more. Some good places to start:
  • TWikiTutorial is a 20-minute tour of TWiki essentials.
  • ATasteOfTWiki is a short introduction training course for beginners.
  • WikiReferences links to selected articles and books about wiki technology and online collaboration.
  • WikiSyntax - simple wiki syntax for those using raw edit instead of WYSIWYG editor
  • GoodStyle - recommendations for edits

Some basics

Editing a topic

• Click Edit at the top or bottom of any topic and make your changes.
  Note: Don't worry if you make a mistake. Everything is version controlled, you can easily go back in time.
• Click Save - you've now updated the topic!

Creating a new topic

• See a red-colored WikiWord? That means that there's no topic yet for that NewWikiWord17493. Simply click on the red-link to create a topic with that name. Add your content and save. Done!
• To create your own topic, invent a BrandNewWikiWord name and put it into an existing topic. Click on the red-link of BrandNewWikiWord to create the topic.

Viewing the history of a topic

• Click History at the bottom of a topic.

Attaching files and images

• Click Attach to upload and attach any type of file.
• When attaching an image file (.gif, .png, .jpg), check the "link" checkbox to embed the image into the topic. Edit the topic to move/resize the image.

Embedding objects

• Raw edit a topic and paste YouTube videos, Twitter feeds and other objects.
