A Wiki, by my definition, is a document which people are allowed to revise and add to as they choose, thus creating an ongoing piece of work that evolves and grows as people work with it. The idea with this and CS is the ability to write information that you know about it, things that you learn, tips, and so on - so other people might be able to use it as a knowledge base. At least... thats how its _supposed_ to work ;) Actually, I agree with you. That was something that we came up with... well, I don't know how long ago. The idea was to promote the willingness of people to advertise objects on the site. Not all rules are made to be steadfastly observed - and I think this is one of those :) JP

Some Wikis are setup so that you have to login to be able to edit, some are not. Usually a Wiki is arranged with a root page, wherein there are several menu items leading to other pages, these having menu items as well, finally leading to content pages. For and example of a Wiki Google "wiki" some wiki sites have a "sandbox" where you can mess around with editing and adding even before becomming a user. Adding information is simple, creating new links to new pages of information is easy. JP's is a Fine/Good/Worthy site, but it's not a wiki. A wiki is much more free form.
