A wiki is an innovative Web-based content authoring system that encourages (perhaps even requires) unfettered collaboration among those who happen to find a Web page that hosts a wiki. A wiki allows anyone to revise and add to a Web page’s content by using standard Web browser forms. This book covers two of the more sophisticated open source wiki systems: MediaWiki, developed for and popularized by the Wikipedia family of Web pages; and TWiki, used in many large organizations and corporations.
