Ok, so now you have an idea of what a wiki is. But, you may be wondering how a wiki could help you. I bet that you're working on some project or activity with a group. Perhaps you're planning a party, planning a trip, planning a reunion, publishing a newsletter, organizing the car pool, or any number of similar activities involving multiple people. Communication among the group is usually the greatest challenge. For example, keeping everyone up-to-date on current details can be a pain. Usually there's one person who ends up funneling all the information to everyone else in the group. Maybe you all are using e-mail. Or, possibly you are also spreading the news by phone calls and phone messages. Phone-tag and e-mail backlog become challenges on even the smallest project or group activity. For those whose group members have access to the Internet, how would you like a simple, free solution to solve your problem? Try a wiki!
Watch this neat video about a practical application of a wiki, in plain English.
