I love Wiki!!

A Wiki is like an online encyclopedia that allows multiple authors to add, edit and remove contents. It is very effective for mass collabrative authoring.

It comprises of the following feature:

Ease of editing with a WYSIWYG editor
Review & revert capability
Easy navigation
Permissions granting
Discussions
Multi-lingual

It was named after a Honolulu shuttle bus route: Wiki Wiki Chance RT-52. It is pretty much interpreted as “quick”. Wiki is a shorter form of Wiki Wiki. Sometimes it is interpreted as “what I know is”.

Wiki has become so comprehensive that many people are using it as reference. You can even download Wiki for your intranet.

Note that Wiki has its own markup language and they are different from HTML.

Have fun Wiki-ing.
