 * What is a Wiki?
 * A Wiki is a series of webpages that anyone can edit
 * Wikis are extremely easy to edit
 * Created online so you can edit them anywhere
 * Wikis are collaborative by nature and typically have multiple authors
 * Keep a chronological history so you will never lose content
 * There is a discussion area to enhance collaboration
 * Wikis are very flexible and can be used for many different purposes
 * Three levels of security
 * public - anyone can view and edit
 * protected - anyone can view but not edit without permission
 * private - only members can view/edit
