Genealogy - our guide to finding you family roots
Genealogy wikis
A wiki is a collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone with
access to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup
language. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to
power community websites. The collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is
one of the best-known wikis. Wikis are used in business to provide
intranet and knowledge management systems. Ward Cunningham, the
developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally
described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly
work."
Wikis are an excellent method of collaborating on genealogy.
