It has been pointed out that using the TWiki is very different from 
using web pages, php, etc., and requires a very different approach.  
In view of this, here are a few pointers.  Forgive me if they are too 
obvious, but I'm just aiming at getting people started.

How to find an entry?  Two possible approaches:

1.  Using the index link on the blue bar will give you an overview of 
the organisation.  However, it doesn't give you any idea of the sort 
of entry you will find there.  For instance, you can't immediately 
tell that HardwareCompatibility is just that - a list of our 
experiences compatibility-wise - whereas HardwareIssues is intended 
to address particular configuration problems and workarounds.

2.  By searching.  The Go on the top bar will only help you if you 
know the exact name of the entry.  Otherwise, use Quick Search 
(bottom right), which will give you a list of entries that refer to 
your specific search words.

How to make an entry?  You would be well to read and maybe print out 
the entry ConTributing.  Here you will find details of how to add an 
entry to a page, how and where to create a new page, and the main 
commands you need for formatting.

None of it is difficult - there's very little to learn, it's just that 
it is 'different'.  HTH
