Response to: So Wiki is . . . ?
While it is true that a brief description of the whole WIki concept would have been a good idea, a search for 'wiki' on Google brought up 'about 2,500,000' results. A bit intimidating, but the very first link on the very first page had a brief blurb about what a Wiki is, along with links to more detailed descriptions. So as not to stress anyone out, here is my one line definition of a Wiki: A web editable, dynamic web site, with a unique syntax for entering simple markup, providing a tool for community or knowledge building.

  It really didn't occur to me that there were people that didn't know what a Wiki was. I've been a bit too close to the web industry to miss it. Recently, however, in talking to friends working even in other parts of the computing industry I have found that it's not as widely known as I had imagined.
  
  This being the case, might I recommend the original WikiWikiWeb as a good place to start learning about Wiki:
