summary on wiki article

The November 3 2003 article “what is wiki” written by Nathan Matias shows the details of wikis and how it emerged. Wiki, also Known as Hypertext and Relational database, was first designed by Ward Cunningham and Bo Leuf in 1995. It is a website where any one can contribute. Wiki is useful in collaborative learning. It is a website which does not need any installation. Each page on wiki has an ‘edit’, ‘save’, and ‘link’ option with which any one can edit and link important things. Besides this, it can save the plenty of old copies of our pages. We can also store all our websites content in an internal hypertext database. The process of creating new page on wikis is a simple. In wikis, we can organize pages according to our needs. We can also create communities on wikis. It is the purest form of hypertext available on the web. It is also simple to use wikis in a classroom. Wikis keep track of our all stuff. Wikis also simplify the site organization. 

In this article, Nathan also talks about Notebook. Notebook is equally important tool for sharing and preserving ideas. Notebook can be used to keep track of idea, research, and To Do list. Notebook works much like a web browser with a few nice features.

At the end, according to me, Wiki is very important software and it allows everyone to edit and share the information. It allows users to link pages and document.
