What is a wiki?
A wiki (IPA: [ˈwɪ.kiː] <WICK-ee> or [ˈwiː.kiː] <WEE-kee>[1]) is a website that allows visitors to add, remove, and otherwise edit and change content, typically without the need for registration. It also allows for linking among any number of pages. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring.
The fastest way to get text online. An online sketch pad.
A Wiki can be thought of as a combination of a Web site and a Word document.
its real power lies in the fact that groups can collaboratively work on the content of the site using nothing but a standard web browser
the second powerful element of a wiki is its ability to keep track of the history of a document as it is revised
