Wiki
From Pharmpedia
The terms wiki (pronounced "wicky") and WikiWiki are used to identify either a specific type of hypertext document collection or the collaborative software used to create it. "Wiki wiki" means "super fast" in the Hawaiian language. Wiki (with a capital 'W') and WikiWikiWeb are sometimes used to refer to the Portland Pattern Repository, the first ever wiki; proponents of this usage suggest using a lower-case 'w' to distinguish the generic terms discussed here.
Advantages of the wiki:
• Easily accessible
• No software required
• Edit content of current web pages – allows user to constantly update content
• Supports collaboration
• Can incorporate ‘recent changes’ page
• Everybody feels the sense of responsibility
