Wiki - Wikipedia

Looking for another technology with a fun name to use in your library? Then try a wiki! You may think I'm making up words but it's real! Visit the following link to find out more! Wiki - Wikipedia: "The terms wiki (pronounced 'weekee,' rhymes with tiki, /wiki/ in SAMPA) and WikiWiki are used to identify either a specific type of hypertext document collection or the collaborative software used to create it. 'Wiki wiki' means 'super fast' in the Hawaiian language. Wiki (with a capital 'W') and WikiWikiWeb are sometimes used to refer to the Portland Pattern Repository, the first ever wiki; proponents of this usage suggest using a lower-case 'w' to distinguish the generic terms discussed here."
