What is a Wiki For?
A Wiki is Immediately Updateable
information that is very new, or has just occurred to you, fits well on a Page
A Wiki is Collaborative
more than one pair of hands and eyes, more than one knowledge base, more than one collection of links
A Wiki is a Web Page
Links, Links, Links.. a collection of links is worth more than a single link,
giving context, contrast, supplemental information....
You can make a Page with a Profile of You, a Project, an Idea, a Company
the substance of that page supports and refines its subject. At the least, just post a link to a more complete site.
This site is Fast and Informal.. made to get the word out. As Ward Cunningham says, its the Information that counts.
