Tonkin, Emma. "[42]Making the Case for a Wiki" [43]Ariadne
(42)(2005)(http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue42/tonkin/). - Wiki: "the simplest online database that could possibly work." Anyone can create Wiki pages and edit them, so a Wiki is by nature a collaborative tool(and one designed to drive control freaks off the deep end). The Wikipedia is probably the most famous Wiki. Tonkin gives the reader a brief overview of Wikis, suggests various uses, provides comparative information about major Wiki software, discusses deployment issues, and speculates about the future of Wikis. - CB
