What Does Wiki Mean?

Question

What is the "wiki" in WikiGardens all about? What does wiki mean and what does it have to do with a gardening site?

Answer

"Wiki" is Hawaiian for "quick" and is the name of the software that the WikiGardens site is build on. Wiki-based web sites were designed to enable collaboration and knowledge-sharing in the quickest, simpliest way possible. Basically, wikis allow users to create and edit web pages using only their web browser. This means you can directly participate in building and improving WikiGardens to become the best source of garden-related information on the web!

The particular wiki software that WikiGardens.com runs is called "TWiki" (http://twiki.org).
