The Big Question: What’s a Wiki? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Let’s ask Ward Cunningham: • The simplest online database that could possibly work. http://wiki.org/wiki.cgi?WhatIsWiki
Why Don’t We Try Another Definition • A server-based collaborative tool that allows any authorized user to edit Web pages and create new ones using nothing more than a Web browser and a text entry form on a Web page. Brenda Chawner and Paul H. Lewis in “WikiWikiWebs: New Ways to Communicate in a Web Environment.” Information Technology and Libraries, March 2006.
Best Features • Collaborate online • Connect internal and external hyperlinks to form concepts and promote ideas • Easily edit or create new pages • Retain previous versions
