About+Wikis

=About Wikis= ** Wikis - a definition ** A wiki is a program that allows users to work together to build, organise and edit a webpage. You don’t need to be a multimedia guru to use a wiki. Wikis are often used to create [|collaborative] [|websites] and to power community websites. For example, the collaborative encyclopaedia [|Wikipedia] is one of the best known wikis. [|Ward Cunningham], developer of the first [|wiki software], [|WikiWikiWeb], originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".

Wiki means 'fast' in Hawaiian
