<h3>What is a wiki?</h3>
 According to the <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">wikipedia</a>:<br />
<br />
&quot;A <strong>wiki</strong> (<a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet_for_English" rel="nofollow">IPA</a>: [ˈwɪ.kiː] &lt;WICK-ee&gt; or [ˈwiː.kiː] &lt;WEE-kee&gt;<a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki#_note-0" rel="nofollow">[1</a>]) is a type of <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website" rel="nofollow">website</a> that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove and otherwise <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit" rel="nofollow">edit</a> and change some available content, sometimes without the need for registration. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_writing" rel="nofollow">collaborative authoring</a>. The term wiki can also refer to the <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_software" rel="nofollow">collaborative software</a> itself (<a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_software" rel="nofollow">wiki engine</a>) that facilitates the operation of such a website, or to certain specific wiki sites, including the computer science site (an original wiki), <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb" rel="nofollow">WikiWikiWeb</a>, and the online encyclopedias such as <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>.&quot;
