A wiki is a shell that can be used for all kinds of writing projects. Wikis can help people get things done because they are designed for collective and collaborative work. A wiki is a quick place to jot down notes. It allows you to think through thoughts and ideas, and constantly update it with current information. One can freely move aorund the wiki page and edit, as well as add or delete ideas and thoughts. It allows one to make cohesive thoughts and eliminate the garbage that clutters the complete thought.
The openess doesn't intimidate people. It enables anyone and everyone to use it. You don't need to be a technical geek to work your way through the system and add thread modes. Everyone can make contributions and have a say in what should and shouldn't be in a wiki.
It's usually comprised of a group of thinkers with similar interests. They are constantly changing, revising, editing and adding bits of their own creativity to make the threads connest in unison. It's like a tree where one adds a creative idea for a seed, it grows roots, grows up and branches out, like an idea that blooms into something beautiful.
This is not a rule. It's a way of thinking about things.

It's like a hockey game. When you want to make a change you can do it on the fly without stopping the game. You don't have to edit, but can make solid contributions, too. The bottom line is that the openess that makes it easy doesn't intimidate people. It enables anyone and everyone to use it. Once you get into the habit of opening pages and mashing words together to form new pages, the wiki is comfortable and easy to use. No one's afraid to make contributions because you don't need to be a technical geek to work your way through the system and add thread modes of your own TwoCentsWorth of information. BillProznik
TheCommunity. Everyone can make contributions and have a say in what should be in a wiki and what shouldn't be. It promotes TrustInTheWiki and throughout TheCommunity, because other community members have your same interests at heart. It's usually comprised of a group of thinkers with your same interests for a topic, who are constantly changing, revising, editing and adding bits of their own creativity to make the threads connest in unison. Wikis are good information tools to see how subjects can branch out. It's like a tree where one adds a creative idea for a seed, it grows roots, grows up and branches out. Like an idea that blooms into something beautiful. BillProznik
A wiki is maintained by a community of users,who want to see contesnt as well as the subject grow and eventually evolve for everyone to use it, like the Wikiglossary or wikipedia or even MeatballWiki. There are thugs, vandals and people who enjoy seeking and estroying anything and everything, but TrustInTheWikiCommunity is vital. You have to have trust for those who are adding their TwoCentsWorth in the name of a higher learning curve. But things which are purposely, as well as accidently destroyed, can be restored. That's a good thing for people like me who sometimes leave their fingerprints on things they should have been careful with in handling. But mistakes can be corrected which is a great aspect of the wiki. BillProznik
