Wikis+101

**What is a Wiki?**
A wiki is basically a website that allows users to access and edit its contents simply by using a web browser, and requires no special software to use. Edits made to a wiki are immediately updated on the web, and multiple people can access and edit a single wiki with permission from the original creator (owner) of the wiki.

Wikis are always works in progress, sort of like a living book that continues to grow with the collaboration and additions by its users.
