 * What is a Wiki?**

According to Wikipedia (which is a Wiki itself) a wiki is a website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove, and otherwise edit and change the content of the wiki, and typically without the need for registration. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring. The term wiki also can refer to the collaborative software itself (wiki engine) that facilitates the operation of such a Web site, or to certain specific wiki sites, including the computer science site (the original wiki) WikiWikiWeb and on-line encyclopedias such as Wikipedia."
