    WIKI

    (THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA)


    History

    Wiki was the first wiki. Ward Cunningham


    started developing WikiWikiWeb in Portland,
    Oregon, in 1994, and installed it on the
    Internet domain c2.com on March 25, 1995.
     Wiki is the piece of server software that allows
    users to freely create and edit Web page
    content using any web browser.
     Wiki supports hyperlinks and hyperlinks and
    has a simple text syntax for creating new
    pages and crosslinks between internal pages
    on the fly
     A wiki is run using wiki software, otherwise
    known as a wiki engine.

     A wiki engine is a type of content


    management system, but it differs from
    most other such systems, including blog
    software, in that the content is created
    without any defined owner or leader, and
    wikis have little inherent structure, allowing
    structure to emerge according to the needs
    of the users
     The online encyclopedia project Wikipedia is
    the most popular wiki-based website, and is
    one of the most widely viewed sites in the
    world, having been ranked in the top ten since
    2007.[3
     "Wiki“is a Hawaiian word meaning "quick
    CONSISTENCY
    Wikis have favoured plain-text editing, with fewer
    and simpler conventions than HTML, for indicating
    style and structure. Although limiting access to
    HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) of wikis
    limits user ability to alter the structure and
    formatting of wiki content, there are some
    benefits.

    Limited access to CSS promotes consistency in


    the look and feel, and having JavaScript disabled
    prevents a user from implementing code that may
    limit other users' access.
    BLOG
    “A blog is a means of sharing thoughts
    and ideas with the world
