Wiki 101

What is a wiki?

A wiki is a webpage that can be edited by multiple people.  Each time someone edits the wiki, the newest version is on display for everyone to view.  Often, edits can be tracked via page histories. 

Why wiki?

Try using a wiki to collaborate online.  Each person can contribute to the final product and see each other's contributions along the way.  The free tools to the left all feature page histories, allowing you to track the changes made by each user.
