Not sure if everyone is aware, but TWiki is in fact GPL. Not sure about
all the features of Typo3 but TWiki's markup syntax, revision tracking,
and visual difference features are all terrific for collaborative
document management. I've used it on a couple of my recent projects with
great success.

There are also a variety of modules that can be plugged into TWiki,
including calendars, drawing applets, etc.

I think it's a good selection for its intended purpose.

Cheers,
Peter
