A wiki is a website that allows collaborative editing of its content and structure by its users. It gets its name from the Hawaiian term for "very fast" as wikis allow very fast creation of content by a group. There is no central editor of a wiki and instead the community edits and develops its own content together without a single person having final control.

1. WHAT IS A WIKI
Wikis get their name from the Hawaiian
term "wiki wiki," which means "very fast."
A wiki is indeed a fast method for
creating content as a group. It's a hugely
popular format on the Web for creating
documents as a group. There is usually
no central editor of a wiki, no single
person who has final editorial control.
Instead, the community edits and
develops its own content.
