Wikis



**I. What is a wiki?**

Wiki is a website that allows users to freely create and edit, delete, or modify a Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly. (The first wiki creator named the site after a chain of buses in Hawaii; Wiki means "quick" in Hawaiian.) **//source://** // groups.involving.org/display/STR/Glossary //
