What is a Wiki?
There is some debate here ... It is a term used to describe, at times, the software used to generate a communally-edited web site or the site itself. Wiki can also be the philosophy of community contribution and ownership of content. Two high-profile wiki efforts are Wikipedia, an effort to create a wiki-based encyclopedia, and original Ward's Wiki.
