+====== Mantis - TWiki Integration ======
+Mantis issue [[http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=8757|8757]] contains a wiki api file to handle dispatching links to a [[http://twiki.org/|TWiki]] wiki instance.  Simply put the wiki_twiki_api.php file in your mantis core directory, and add the following section to your config_inc.php (with your values).  The extension should handle proper WikiWord naming of issues and projects.  Set $g_wiki_enable to ON, $g_wiki_root_namespace to the name of the TWiki web you want to use, $g_wiki_engine to 'twiki', and make sure $g_wiki_engine_url points to the base URL of your TWiki instance, with a trailing slash (see comments below).

+	#####################
+	# Wiki Integration
+	#####################
+	#
+	# Wiki Integration Enabled?
+	$g_wiki_enable = ON;
+	# Wiki Engine (supported engines: 'dokuwiki', 'mediawiki', 'twiki', 'xwiki')
+	$g_wiki_engine = 'twiki';
+	# Wiki namespace to be used as root for all pages relating to this mantis installation.
+	$g_wiki_root_namespace = 'mantis';
+	# URL under which the wiki engine is hosted, with a trailing slash.
+	#	For wikis on the same server, use this syntax:
+	#		$g_wiki_engine_url = $t_protocol . '://' . $t_host . '/%wiki_engine%/';
+	#	For wikis on a different server, specify the complete URL
+	#		$g_wiki_engine_url = 'http://example.com/path/to/wiki/server/';
+	#
+	#	Note for TWiki users: be sure to include '/bin/view/' in the url, e.g.,
+	#		$g_wiki_engine_url = 'http://example.com/twiki/bin/view/';
+	#
+	$g_wiki_engine_url = $t_protocol . '://' . $t_host . '/%wiki_engine%/bin/view/';
+</code>
+So, for my installation, I created a TWiki web called "mantis", and the extension creates "Wiki" links to it for Mantis projects and issues.  Note that $g_wiki_engine_url must end with '/bin/view/', so that Mantis will properly form the links to point to the TWiki view function.  My TWiki install happens to run on a separate Apache instance (it's used by other groups for other purposes), so I needed to use a full address for my engine URL ('http://twiki.example.com/bin/view/').
+Issue links look like IssueNumber$bug_id (IssueNumber123), as valid WikiWords must start with a capital letter.
+The extension will try a few tricks to make project names into valid WikiWords, in this order:
+      - Removing whitespace (My Project => MyProject).
+      - Uppercasing words (my project => MyProject).
+      - Prepending the string 'ProjectName' (XYZ => ProjectNameXYZ).
+That last case should only occur if your Mantis project's name is a single lowercase word, an acronym, or a number.
