= **WHAT IS A ﻿WIKI? ** =


 * Wiki.org**

A piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit 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 [...] Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users.



*Becomes a Web tool that allows us to collectively create documents without performing an acceptance on the content before posted online.

What can a wiki do?
 * Edit a page in real time, search the wiki's content, and view updates since your last visit
 * Additional features can include calendar sharing, live AV conferencing, RSS feeds and more.
 * A wiki makes it easy to swap ideas and information on projects -whether for a family vacation or a complex business enterprise.
 * A wiki opens the door to experts and shy silent types alike, increasing creativity, expertise, and productivity all around.
 * Wikis end the waste of ricocheting emails and communication breakdowns--wikis literally get everyone "on the same page."



The building blocks of wikis are the "comments" from visitors.
