---++ FAQ:

What does the "T" in TWiki stand for?

---++ Answer:

TWiki is short for <nop>TakeFive Wiki, the name of the company where its founder [[TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny][Peter Thoeny]] worked. Peter first named the platform <nop>T5Wiki, then shortened it to TWiki (pronounced _twee-kee_).

It was later discovered that Twiki is also the name of an AI robot that co-starred in the [[http://www.buck-rogers.com/][Buck Rogers]] movie and TV series from 1979.
