Welcome to the System web

This is where Foswiki keeps system documentation, including documentation that is included with optional extensions.

For most people, the System web is read-only; even administrators should not need to modify any of the topics here, though you may want to add your own topics - for example, to answer frequently asked questions from your users.

This site is running Foswiki version v2.1.9, Release 18 Dec 2024, Plugin API version 2.5
