What is a wiki?• The term "wiki" comes from a Hawaiian word meaning "quick." • A wiki is an online resource that is easily editable by any user
from any Internet browser. • Wikis allow for cross-referencing outside links or other pages
in the same wiki. • Anyone can edit anyone else's work in a wiki. • Wikis can be reverted back to previous edits. • Wikis were created by Ward Cunningham for the
Portland Pattern Repository in 1995. • Web-based wikis can be created with free server-based
software such as MediaWiki.Wikis in Plain English
