Wiki 101 - What’s a wiki?
A wiki is simply a collection of web pages that anyone can edit
Wikis are used for a variety of reasons:
As a knowledgebase, like Wikipedia
As a collaboration tool, similar to group email
There are two categories of wikis:
Fully public workspaces open to the general internet
Private wikis, open only to invited members (all Socialtext wikis are by default private)
