Wiki Introduction
A wiki (WICK-ee) is a collaboratively edited and managed web site. A typical wiki contains multiple pages that can either be edited by the public or limited to use within an organization. Wikipedia is the most well-known example.
Wikis don't have a default structure, allowing one to emerge according to the needs of the users. We get to collectively define the structure and tone and look of this site.
Why a wiki?
User-defined structure
Because of their lack of default structure, a wiki allows a bunch of people to add what's important to them. Sometimes this means multiple people refining a single page, sometimes it means groups of people making pages they care about, which are later tied together into a browsable site.
(TODO: illustrated examples)
Self-hosted
This wiki is "self-hosted." This differs from depending on commercial services like Google, in that we control many aspects related to privacy and security:
User data privacy
We don't have to share user information, and can collect as little as is necessary to make the site work.
We rent server space. We can decide to host the site and site data wherever we want to.
