2. What is a Wiki? A wiki: • is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser. • invites all users to edit any page or to create new pages within the wiki Web site. • promotes meaningful topic associations between different pages by making page link creation almost intuitively easy and showing whether an intended target page exists or not. • is not a carefully crafted site for casual visitors. Instead, it seeks to involve the visitor in an ongoing process of creation and collaboration that constantly changes the Web site landscape. • Supports the work of ‘communities’.

3. Security, Trust and Control Wikis: • are generally designed with the philosophy of making it easy to correct mistakes, rather than making it difficult to make them. • are open for others to see but others cannot make changes unless invited. • can be easily monitored to follow and rectify changes should that be required.
