What is a Wiki?
Answer:
The term wiki comes from the Hawaiian word “wikiwiki”
meaning fast. A wiki is a website that allows anyone to edit, add, or delete information that is posted to the site. This essentially allows for a website to have unlimited authors and unlimited references.

One of the most popular wiki sites is Wikipedia . Wikipedia is an online reference tool that is constantly being built upon by its users. Such websites, especially those used for reference are often attacked for being unreliable.  Allowing anyone to edit any topic devaluates the credibility of the reference.  Users considering utilizing or sourcing a Wiki should think twice.  Consult with a professional if the material you seek is mission critical.

Starting or building a wiki is easy.  Attractive the visitors to contribute to the Wiki is the difficult part.   Below are a couple sites offering wiki software.
