According to some website,
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.
Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.
Wikipedia may be the most famous example of a wiki. The theory being, the combined knowledge of a mass user base allows for a very powerful tool for creating a deep database of information compared to a small group of writers and editors ever could.
This is where you come in as a small group of writers and editors.
With much help from SysAdminOpComputerGuru Mark, we now have the Waste of a Perfectly Good Wiki.
My goal is to have a little bit of help from everyone reading this very sentence. We'll start focusing around creating a knowledge-base for the Billings and Spivey Universe, but if you want to go off in your own tangent and see what other people have to offer, go nuts.
The wiki interface is really easy to use... and those who know it better can help keep it clean. Or making it more ugly. I don't care. It's really up to you guys what to do.
How about starting by adding to Mister Billing's biography? I mean, you do know where he went to school, right? Because I don't.
If you want to explore, you can look at a random page. Or create your own....
