TwicI is the software engine which runs the OUSFGWiki. You don't need to know much about it to use it; this page is for the author and the technically curious. You might like to: - Report TwicIBugs on their own page - Add your own suggestions on the TwicIWishlist - Subject TwicI to the TwicISmokeTest to make sure it's still working TwicI is a simple wiki system written as a set of CGI scripts in perl; it runs under WarningsTaintAndStricture. It is highly incomplete. The primary inspiration for TwicI is WardsWiki; its simplicity and its inadequacies in particular! TwicI is being written by TomAnderson. The TwicI sources can be downloaded from the code archive (); a little more information about TwicI, including a version history, can be found in the latest readme (). TwicI is distributed under a BSDLicense (). The author has been asked why he decided to write his own wiki software rather than using one of the literally millions of free software ones available on the web. He usually mumbles a reply mentioning: - None of the existing wikis have the right combination of features (some have too few, some too many) - It's an advantage to have the wiki engine be tinkerable by someone active on the wiki, so that it can be tuned to its users desires; it's easier to tinker with your own code than someone else's - Writing a wiki is a fun and interesting (and fairly easy) thing to do - It made him feel really manly TwicI clearly has RealUltimatePower.
