Getting started using TWiki

Anyone may browse the TWiki. To change it (i.e. add content and edit pages) you first need to set up a WikiName. This is done by filling out a form on the TWikiRegistration page.

Submitting the TWikiRegistration form requires a HTTP-username and a HTTP-password. Provided a HTTP-login has been established for you, the HTTP-username is identical to your login (shell) username, and the (default) HTTP-password is the one given in the motd-message in your login shell. If your TWikiRegistration form is rejected (i.e. you instead get a page saying «Authorization Required»), the most likely cause is that due to an oversight, no HTTP-login was set up for you when your shell accont was established. To rectify this, send an email to GisleHannemyr and request an HTTP-login.

After you have registered a WikiName, you can create and edit most pages (some pages are protected and can only be changed by the TWikiAdminGroup). To log in to edit a page, use your HTTP-username and HTTP-password.

If you wish, you can also change your HTTP-password or request to reset your HTTP-password.
