FrontPage
Welcome!
This is the front page of ZWiki's zwikidotorg wiki template. Here are the HelpPage, RecentChanges, UserOptions, AnnoyingQuote and contents.
You'll find additional Zwiki documentation at ZWiki:ZwikiDocs, including ZWiki:ReleaseNotes, ZWiki:KnownIssues and the ZWiki:ZwikiTracker. ZWiki:GeneralDiscussion and the #zope IRC channel are good places to get help.
Edit this page and replace it with something appropriate. Other things you may want to configure (or not):

Set up a zope MailHost object and add amail_from
folder string property containing a valid From address. A "subscribe" link will appear in the page footer. You may want to add the ZWiki:MailHostFix to make Bcc work. - Mail in
You'll need to set up a special mail alias, a zope helper method, a default discussion page andmail_to
/mail_replyto
folder properties. Users will be able to reply to comments by mail. See ZWiki:WikiMail. - External (client-side) editing
Install the ZWiki:ExternalEditor zope product and make sure users have theUse external editor

An issue tracking database integrated with the wiki. See ZWiki:HowToInstallAZwikiTracker - A more featureful front page
Eg showing latest comments from other pages. See ZWiki:FrontPage source for ideas - Security
If you allow untrusted users to edit your wiki, you should be aware of the server-side trojan issue. Unless carefully configured Zwiki may allow users to create content (eg DTML or javascript) which will be executed when viewed by others. For example, DTML code could delete other zope objects to which it has access (restricted to the lowest of the page owner and the page viewer's privileges). Tips: make the wiki folder's owner a low-privileged user, set the standard_page_type folder property to a non-DTML page type, remove or disable editing on any DTML-enabled pages, denyZwiki: Change page types
permission. Decide for yourself whether these steps are necessary, or keeping backups will suffice, or YAGNI applies.
Enjoy your wiki!
