“Wiki engines drive patient data stores, repositories for ideas
or documentation, and treasure troves of knowledge of all kinds. In

“Wikis (from the Hawaiian word for “quick”) have been an
important part of many computer users’ private and professional
lives for years. Wikis are even replacing expensive knowledgebase
