What is a Wiki?

Simply put, a wiki (from the Hawaiian term "wiki-wiki meaning "quick") is a web page/site that is quick to develop by a single individual or a group of people. The most well-known application of a wiki is the popular site, Wikipedia. The concept of Wikipedia is that the "global community" on the web can contribute to the knowledge base of the web-encyclopedia, thereby increasing the information available on any given topic.
