logout function
Foswiki finally allows closing a session via a logout link in the upper corner of the side bar.
WYSIWYG-Editor
Foswiki opens Wiki pages by default with a WYSIWYG-Editor (not in some versions of IE). In this editor you can switch to classical text mode, which you can also get via the
Edit wiki text
button at the bottom of each page.

Prior to login, only public webs are listed. After authentication, also webs with restricted access are visible.

Change Look'n Feel
The
PatternSkin used by Foswiki changes the look of the pages wrpt Twiki. However, the loo'n feel can be personalized such that the pages appear more similar to old Twiki.
Try changes using the
SkinBrowser. The theme
PatternSkinTheme2009 is close to the known Twiki.
Chapter "Store theme settings" on the Theme page explains how to make this permanent.
