**What is a Wiki?**
According to Wikipedia, (which is itself a Wiki ;-), "a wiki is a website that allows visitors to easily add, remove, and otherwise edit and change the content of the wiki. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring. The term wiki also can refer to the collaborative software (wiki engine) that operates this type of website, or to certain specific wiki sites, including WikiWikiWeb, and on-line encyclopedias such as Wikipedia."
