What's a wiki?
A wiki is a web site that lets any visitor become a
participant: you can create or edit the actual site contents
without any special technical knowledge or tools. All you need is
a computer with an Internet connection. A wiki is continuously
“under revision.” It is a living collaboration whose purpose is the
sharing of the creative process and product by many. One
famous example is Wiki-pedia, an online encyclopedia with no
“authors” but millions of contributors and editors. The word
"wiki" comes from Hawaiian language, meaning "quick" or "fast."
