How does a wiki work?

*Easy linking*: easy linking to other pages on the wiki and other resources on the web
*Low barrier to entry*: it is very easy to fix the smallest mistake
*Editable organization*: topics, categories, top-ten, see-also, forward indexes, it is all written by the community for the community
*Peer review*: the wiki allows others to see what happened via page history and the list of recent changes
*Recent changes*: as it lists the pages being edited it creates a shared awareness for all community members
*Organic growth*: small incremental changes as well as big reorganisations are possible
