		The power of the wiki software is in its simplicity to use.
		Wiki software can be used by corporations or by individuals.

	Technology: How Wikis Work
		Many people believe that nobody who is granted read access should be denied write access or wikis lose their power, but there are times when administrators will want to restrict which users are allowed to access a wiki.
		Wikis are selected for hosting that are likely to be successful and will appeal to a wide community.
		Wikis are community owned, not owned by the person "founding" the wiki.

	Informat.io on Wiki
		The word wiki is a shorter form of wiki wiki (weekie, weekie) which is from the native language of Hawaii (Hawaiian), where it is commonly used as an adjective to denote something "quick" or "fast" (Hawaiian dictionary).
		Originally, most wikis used CamelCase when naming program identifiers, produced by capitalizing words in a phrase and removing the spaces between them (the word "CamelCase" is itself an example of CamelCase).
		Wikis are generally designed with the philosophy of making it easy to correct mistakes, rather than making it difficult to make them.

	Wikis in the Workplace: How Wikis Can Help Manage Knowledge in Library Reference Services
		Wikis encourage incremental knowledge creation, so when a page is created, the content can be partial or incorrect since additional collaborators will edit and add more information to the page.
		This wiki is a resource for anyone, but a similar wiki organized around a specific function like this one could be used within an organization as an internal tool as well.
		The wiki could be set up as a private wiki accessible only by a group of team members or it could be set up as publicly readable but editable only by members of the group.

		The fact that wikis are open source gave the way to development of many variations of the tool, thus benefiting from easy wiki publishing when using them for different specific purposes.
		Wikis, it is interesting to note, have also been used as a documentation platform for a number of GNU/Linux distributions.
		Old APC wiki sites used in the past both for meetings and project development still serve as important resources for APC's current activities, evaluation, etc. Wikis are great to maintain continuity between what has been planned and what is being worked on.

	DDN Articles - Exploring the World of Wikis
		Private wikis are most often used for internal communications within a company or organization; only those who are authorized by the administrator can even view the wiki, let alone edit it.
		However, creating an in-house wiki requires a person with a significant amount of technical smarts; depending on the wiki engine you choose, a functional knowledge of a programming language such as PHP or Java will be necessary.
		Because wikis are inexpensive and relatively easy to use, some nonprofits and educational institutions have found that they're the ideal tool for helping team members or students collaborate more effectively.

	Frank Carver's weblog - Wiki in education: usage spikes
		Wiki is a web technology, provided via web servers to users via browsers and the HTTP protocol.
		Many Wiki implementations (mine included) rely on experiential data from the original wiki at c2.com.
		Adding links to a Wiki page is simple and transparent, and pooling the results of all the groups' research helped avoid redundant effort and share knowledge of web research techniques in a very natural way.

	Software Architecture
		Software architecture is the belief that since some sort of diagram representing the software can be drawn after the software has been developed, that same diagram could be drawn before development starts.
		If you understand what software is and how it is made and by whom it is made and to whom it is sold, the definition is appropriate.
		The software architecture of a program or computing system is the structure or structures of the system, which comprise software components, the externally visible properties of those components, and the relationships among them.

		When setting up a wiki, you essentially have two options: outsource it to a third-party host (known as a wiki farm) or build it from scratch by installing software on your own servers.

	O'Reilly Network -- What Is a Wiki (and How to Use One for Your Projects)
		This tutorial is about how to effectively use a wiki to keep notes and share ideas amongst a group of people, and how to organize that wiki to avoid lost thoughts and encourage serendipity.
		Before getting into how to choose the right wiki for you and general tips for using one, it may be useful to know how we used a wiki for our own project.
		There's a phrase about wikis: "What you think is what you get." A wiki is a written-down memory with a lot more space than the built-in one, and it's a collective memory, too.

	ONLamp.com -- Which Open Source Wiki Works For You?
		Wiki implementations have appeared, enabling webmasters to set up their own Wikis on their sites.
		It is not trivial to switch from one Wiki implementation to the other, because this will usually require translating all of the pages from the old syntax to the new one.
		For Wikis with a lot of rich content, media, and internationalization, and that have their own dedicated databases, MediaWiki is ideal.

		Wiki Science is the study of how the phenomenon of wikis, and free, open collaborative works in general (like free software and open source), are growing, changing and adapting.
		It is dynamic and self-editable like a Wiki but uses ZML and RxML to enable structured content and editable metadata.
		Wiki Sci is an attempt for researchers to organize research efforts in a task-oriented manner, facilitating much better idea exchange.

		But, my paternal line wiki (at least that I’ve started) has my cousins, at least all the ones I could think of in a few minutes, my siblings, my parents and their siblings, and stuff.

		There are other wikis, some of which don't need databases, though.
		I doubt there's anything too particular to education for a wiki -- after all, the first wiki was for the (informal) education of computer programmers, and wikis in general are supposed to be blank slates.+

	The Joel on Software Discussion Group - Wiki for Joel on Software translations?
		For smaller Wikis I like to use engines that save the content in files as opposed to a database, but ease of setup is probably not the most important factor for you (otherwise I'd recommend Oddmuse/Usemod).
		I've yet to see a wiki that is capable of removing an old patch to a document so, unless it was the last revision, it will require manual editing.
		Joel, if you want the wiki that suits you best there is no better method then to look around and try out some (and, most likely, to change some things yourself).

	SitePoint Blogs » Wiki Comparison
		It seems to have spun out of this Dokuwiki page and provides (primarily) functional comparison of different wiki engines (which is interesting in itself that Wiki software has become so well defined).
		Opinion: although it’s a better place to start comparing wiki’s than anything else I’ve seen, to me what’s missing is things like “ease of maintenance”, “performance”, “scales to X pages / hits (link to real site)”, “actively developed / maintained”, “mean time to fix bugs / security issues” etc. But still a good start.
		Secondly, you use the service only after you’ve made your own shortlist of CMS softwares, and want a feature by feature comparison for further reducing the shortlist to a figure of 3 or 4, at which point you try out each of these on your server… so that’s the idea….
