 Common Craft - Social Design for the Web: Wikis Described in Plain English
Instead of a team of designers developing a web site in private, a wiki is developed in public by the users of the wiki over the life of the wiki.
Wikis are easy to learn and use, which makes them accessible to everyone.
This allows a wiki to change constantly and morph to represent the needs of the users over time.

 Collaborating through wikis - CNET.com
You can use your wiki to ask questions, offer help, correct and add information to documents and presentations, brainstorm and scheme, and keep everyone on track and in touch about a particular project.
The theory, and practice, is that since people can freely alter the contents of a wiki, any incorrect information that creeps in will quickly be removed or edited until it's made good.
Think of a wiki as a shared work space, a big user-friendly filing cabinet that contains the collective wisdom, captured in digital format, of your coworkers and, if you choose, your customers.

 TikiWiki Documentation : d.tw.o : Wiki
Typically, wikis solve these problems by using their own, easy formatting syntax (called wiki syntax) and by enabling users to create and maintain documents with a Web browser.
The first Wiki was created (and dubbed "Wiki-Wiki") by Ward Cunningham, a Portland, OR computer programmer, in 1995.
In a Wiki, this term refers to the navigation structures that Wiki users invent as they try to impose pattern and meaning on a collection of Wiki pages.

 Quickiwiki, Swiki, Twiki, Zwiki and the Plone Wars Wiki as a PIM and Collaborative Content Tool
The bad news about wikis is twofold: Unless you implement a wiki within an industry-standard database such as Oracle, MySQL, or PostgreSQL, you may need programming skills to migrate your wiki from one wiki implementation to another.
Intertwingular: Memes.net, a wiki, defines this as "many relationships between atoms of data, not just the simple hierarchies that we see in todays [sic] computer interfaces." Examples, besides wikis, that promote intertwingularity are The Brain [http://www.thebrain.com/], Lucid Fried Eggs [example site: http://www.memes.net], and Ted Nelson's ZigZag and Xanadu projects [http://www.xanadu.com/].
