A wiki is a cgi script which creates a collaborative online environment. They work quite well for allowing a community to generate online documentation, though they do tend to be a bit anarchic and rub some people the wrong way. They have a couple distinctive features: * Anyone can edit any page at any time (they use methods like revision control to protect against abuse). * The use a simple markup which is good for writing documentation (don't have to worry about closing tags etc) * The use camel case WikiWords to automatically create links to other pages. In this example anywhere WikiWords appears in a page it would actually be a link to a page called "WikiWords". If you're interested in learning more you can see the original c2 wiki (it was developed originally for discussions on "extreme programming"). http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WelcomeVisitors MeatBall is another very popular wiki dedicated to the discussion of online communities with particular attention paid to wiki's. http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl Adam.
