ABOUT
What is TWIG? TWIG is rapidly becoming a very useful intranet/groupware tool and application framework.
It is written and implemented completely with the PHP programming language.
Our intention is that it become a simple, cross-platform, fast, and browser-independant way to access or share
almost any kind of information, without the complexity or costs of other intranet/groupware packages.
FEATURES
Because of the modular design of TWIG, it is fairly simple to add new features very rapidly. Here are the main
features that TWIG currently supports:
- E-Mail (via IMAP)
- Contact Manager
- Scheduling
- Usenet Newsgroups
- Todo Lists
- Bookmarks
Many more features are planned, and future features should be simple to
add due to TWIG's fairly modular construction.
HISTORY
TWIG used to be Muppet, a web-based IMAP mail
client. The first version was written and released by
Christopher Heschong on December 18, 1998 to serve as a simple
web based e-mail interface for the customers of his ISP, The Wire Company.
Since that time, several other developers have added their time and skill to create a program that is much more
than just an e-mail client.
