My Name is Sara Abou-eid and I'm currently completing Information Tehcnolgy in year 12 VCE.

A question I keep asking my self in Information Tehcnology class is, What is a Wiki ? So I have now learnt by the help of my teacher what it really means.

- A Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly. There is no specific age group that are able to use Wiki, it is free and available to who ever needs to use it.

- A wiki is a web site that lets any visitor become a participant: you can create or edit the actual site contents without any special technical knowledge or tools. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection. A wiki is continuously “under revision.” It is a living collaboration whose purpose is the sharing of the creative process and product by many. One famous example is Wiki-pedia, an online encyclopedia with no “authors” but millions of contributors and editors. The word "wiki" comes from Hawaiian language, meaning "quick" or "fast."

As a Wiki user, I have created an account so I can express my knowledge through an online community, and share my ideas, in that way people can read and learn different things that I can offer them with.

- I hope to be a member of Wiki that will help each and every one of Wiki users. :) Thankyou for your time
