What is a Wiki?
The best example of a wiki is Wikipedia. <- Click on the link to learn more about how a wiki works, but the short story is that a wiki's content is created and edited by many different people. You could edit pages on this wiki if you wanted to (or you could just read them). The idea is to create a vast resource of information built upon the collective expertise of "the many". When you edit a page, it will be reviewed over time by readers and editors and they may in turn delete your contributions if it is felt that the information is inaccurate, sloppy, or promotional. You may also be asked to provide references through links to other resources on the web. (You can also fulfill these requests for references for other people's material as well.)
Given enough users, a wiki should become a robust encyclopedia of knowledge for certain subject matters.
