wiki+Information

From wikipedia (in part):

A **wiki** is a [|website] that allows the easy[|[1]] creation and editing of any number of [|interlinked] [|web pages] via a [|web browser] using a simplified [|markup language] or a [|WYSIWYG] text editor.[|[2]][|[3]] Wikis are typically powered by [|wiki software] and are often used to create [|collaborative] [|websites], to power community websites, for personal [|note taking], in corporate [|intranets], and in [|knowledge management] systems. Most wikis serve a specific purpose, and off topic material is promptly removed by the user community. Such is the case of the collaborative encyclopedia [|Wikipedia].[|[3]] In contrast, [|open purpose wikis] accept all sorts of content without rigid rules as to how the content should be organized. [|Ward Cunningham], the developer of the first wiki software, [|WikiWikiWeb], originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work."[|[4]] "Wiki" (pronounced [|[ˈwiki]] or [|[ˈviki]] ) is a [|Hawaiian] word for "fast".[|[5]] "Wiki" has been [|backronymed] by some to "What I Know Is".[|[6]]
