What’s a Wiki?
• “A Wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language.“ – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RAC Knowledge Wiki
• http://siku.oraclecorp.com/bin/view/Knowledge/RAC• Created in August 2007• Created on internal Siku website, originates from
Chinese characters “ 四库” or “ 思库”• Created in the Knowledge “ 集” category• Uses Perl-based TWiki as wiki software• Serves as an index of all RAC-related wiki pages
created by CDC RAC Development team members
5
TWiki Features & Applications
• Builds on the original wiki concept and adds a number of features that make it very useful in a business environment.
• Pages are fully revision controlled, so a record of every change to every page is kept
• The look-and-feel is highly configurable, through use of templates
• Plug-ins
• A whiteboard • A document repository • A collaborative authoring
environment • A notebook• A chat room • A project management system • A tracking tool• (truth is, we don't really know
its limits!)

Structure of a TWiki Page
TWiki pages are usually organized into three parts: • A header • A body • A footer
• The header and the footer are generated by the system
• The body contains the text of the page, as entered by you
• Demo
7
Creating New Pages
• Registration with your email address and WikiName
• Alternative ways to create new page:• Click on the question mark after a WikiWord• Click on “Create New Topic” on the sidebar• Type in the name of the topic in the URL • Any time you try to visit a page that doesn't exist,
TWiki will invite you to create it• Make sure the names of topics are always WikiWord• Demo
8
Editing Pages
• Click the “Edit” link on the upper right corner of a page• You've clicked the edit link, and an edit page has
appeared. But it doesn’t look much like what was on the page before - it's full of strange hieroglyphics!
• The hieroglyphics are what's known as "Twiki Markup" or "formatting"
• They are a really simple way of telling the browser how you want the page to look
• Demo
9
Commonly Used Formatting
• ---+ indicates a heading. Add more +'s for a deeper heading.
• %TOC% will insert a table of contents• A blank line gives a paragraph break• Text in stars *like this* looks like this• Text in underscores _like this_ looks like this• Text in equals signs =like this= looks like this • Bulleted lists use three spaces followed by an asterisk
(*) at the start of the line. The depth of the bullet is given by the number of spaces, in multiples of three
• Demo
