What is a wiki?
Well, where else to get the definition?? --according to Wikipedeia, "A wiki (IPA: [ˈwɪ.kiː] or [ˈwiː.kiː][1]) is a website that allows visitors to add, remove, edit and change content, typically without the need for registration. It also allows for linking among any number of pages. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring.
Ever pass meeting minutes around the group for approval? And several members send the Word document back with their revisions, then you have to add each person's revision to the original document? Ooops! Which one is the original? I now have five copies ... etc.
Wikis can solve the problem. Put the minutes up on the wiki, and everyone can make their edits directly. The wiki tracks who made edits, what they were, and when. Fix everything in a single document, and when you're done...well, you're done.
Wikis are also searchable, which means you can run a search on all your minutes to find out who said what and when.
