Wiki's

What is a Wiki? A collaborative online space that is hosted on a website. People become members of the space and contribute new content, minor edits, or create discussion about given topics.

Is it Wikipedia? No, Jimmy Wales created the best known wiki. But it has taken off because of its dedicated users.
