Thanks! I should have looked harder. Further experimentation showed that although I was able to log in to the TDWG site itself, the TWiki login gave me an "Unrecognized user and/or password". So there seems to be some disconnect between the two authentications. However, if I were to post material, it would most likely be at the Darwin Core Google Code site anyway, which is the place to which one is redirected from the TDWG site if one clicks on the Darwin Core wiki link. There seems to be little or no activity on the TDWG Wiki generally. So I don't think it's worth anybody's time to figure out why the authentication doesn't work for me.
Thanks, Steve

The link you seek is on the left panel in http://www.tdwg.org/membership/ You would have found it with some perseverance. I believe the slight obscurity is due to a perhaps somewhat, ummm, homebrewed single (sort of) authentication mechanism. More precisely, it looks like the wiki and the membership site use the same authentication credentials, but require separate authentication. Even if successfully logged in to the membership facility you will probably still have to provide your login name and password to the wiki. Once so authenticated, you are authenticated to all of the TDWG wikis. Note also that TWIKI has lots of editing differences from MediaWiki. When you open an edit session, there is a little help button above the edit window. It is your friend.
