> A wiki (sometimes spelled "Wiki") is a server program that
allows
> users to collaborate in forming the content of a Web site. With a
> wiki, any user can edit the site content, including other users'
> contributions, using a regular Web browser. Basically, a wiki Web
> site operates on a principle of collaborative trust. The term comes
> from the word "wikiwiki," which means "fast" in the
Hawaiian
> language.
>
> A wiki allows a visitor to the "wikified" Web site to edit the
> content of the site from their own computer. Visitors can also create
> new content and change the organization of existing content. The
> simplest wiki programs allow editing of text and hyperlinks only.
> More advanced wikis make it possible to add or change images, tables,
> and certain interactive components such as games.
>
> A wiki provides a simplified interface. At any time, contributors can
> conveniently view the Web page as it looks to other subscribers,
> before and after the changes they have made. It is not necessary to
> know HTML (hypertext markup language) or perform work in HTML code.
> The best known example of a wiki Web site is Wikipedia, an online
> dictionary building collaboration.
