{{right:Wiki_diagram}}
According to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham|Ward Cunningham]], the inventor of the very first wiki (WikiWikiWeb),
a wiki is //"The simplest online database that could possibly work."//

A wiki engine is a piece of software that enables the creation of a wiki site. A wiki site allows users to create and modify
pages on the fly using their web browser, and a basic markup syntax.

The wiki platform allows collaboration and group communication quite unlike anything else.

The diagram to the right shows an example of how a wiki is edited by many users over a period of time, resulting in
what you see presently.
