| == What is a wiki<br> ==
| |
| | |
| A Wiki is a website that allows any visitor to easily contribute to and edit that website. Wikis are particularly suited to collaborative group authoring of documents and websites. The most famous example of a Wiki is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia], a very extensive on-line encylopedia that allows anyone to add to and edit its entries.<br>

| *Writing on a wiki enables information to be immediately published on the web for the public to read.
