What is a Wiki?
A Wiki is a unified system for publishing:
- Many users at once can freely create and edit the content, “edit anything at any time”
- A matrix-based, horizontal navigation created and controlled by users
- Users “gesture” by creating a “linked” page, without necessarily creating content on the gestured page
- Creates cross-links on the fly
- Invites participants to help build the information structurally and within pages
- Edit both content as well as organization of the content without fear of losing old information, “ruining” the page or overwriting good information
- The gift economy
