“Wiki engines drive patient data stores, repositories for ideas
or documentation, and treasure troves of knowledge of all kinds. In
this review, we put six of these engines through their paces.“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
software in corporate environments. Wikis are perfect for weaving
your own thoughts and words, and they make collaborative writing
much easier.“The tools consist of a browser on the user’s side and wiki
software serverside. The number of engines on the market is well
into three digits.”
