TWiki is a WikiClone? that focuses on the corporate intranet space but is also applicable to public Wikis. Very feature-rich (revision tracking, attachments, skins, InterWiki, web forms, embedded searches, regex searches, RSS feed output, etc.); somewhat complex default templates but it's possible to completely change its look with different templates (see http://www2.evem.org.au/bin/view/Home/WebHome?count=20&skin;=home
).
People have used TWiki to build bug tracking systems, Q&A databases, etc, but it's mainly used for collaboration and knowledge sharing. You can do a lot just by editing pages and including TWiki variables (some are really macros) - e.g. I recently added a Mozilla sidebar feature to TWiki.org, without being able to change its templates (See TWikiCodev:MozillaSidebar
to try this out.)

- Hrm. I'm trying to add TWiki to the InterWiki system here and the TWiki URL scheme seems to be non-standard, there's a base URL but a given page can be in various subdirectories (Codev, Main, TWiki i found so far). So TWikiCodev:WikiRssExtension
works (look at the URL, not the WikiMarkup? here). To complete InterWiki linking i have to create a separate TWikiMain?: and TWikiTWiki?:, and people have to know which one to use? --JohnAbbe
TWiki is Perl-based and has a plugin architecture - some current plugins include quick commenting, calendars, spreadsheets, action tracking, voting, LDAP queries, session tracking with cookies (useful for skins), etc.
- Judging from http://www2.evem.org.au/bin/view/Home/WebHome
there's a plug-in for weblogs, which makes TWiki another one of the WikiWeblogs i just hadn't known about! --JohnAbbe
Used by the OpenLaw initiative amongst many other public Wikis, and by many intranet Wikis.
