The Caboteria is a cgi-bin script written in Perl. It reads a text file, hyperlinks it and converteds it to HTML on the fly. The point is to:

• make the text editing process a very simple ( click on the Edit link at the bottom of the page )
• and to find information fast ( WebSearch ).

What does the name TWiki stand for?

• Wiki wiki means quick in Hawai'ian. They call the shuttle at the Honolulu airport the wiki wiki bus.
• TWiki is the short form of TakeFive Wiki . (Later on I found out that Twiki is the name of a robot in a Buck Rogers TV show in 1979)
