Collaborative Whiteboard?

Collaborative Whiteboard?

Posted on Wednesday August 02, @01:48AM Pacific

Ever since coming across the Wiki concept several years ago, I have struggled to describe it in a succinct fashion. I usually say that it's a web-based collaborative whiteboard. I will not attempt to describe the Wiki concept here, instead I would urge you to explore it on your own. A good place to start your exploration is with the original Wiki developed by Ward Cunningham. Since the creation of the original Wiki, there have been dozens of clones developed in many different programming languages. Over the years, the Wiki concept has evolved and mutated. But, in general, all Wikis allow you to easily create and snap together web pages and to update the pages as you read them. Enjoy the journey.
