A Wiki is a web application
that allows users to create and edit Web Page content using a Web
Browser. The term Wiki also refers to the
collaborative software used to create such a website, also known as Wiki
Software. Wiki Software is usually implemented as a script
that runs on a web server with the Wiki content stored in a relational
database management system such as MySQL. The first Wiki Software
system was created back in 1995.
Aplus.Net offers the Wiki Software system named MediaWiki.
MediaWiki is a Wiki Software package licensed under the GNU
General Public License. It is a feature-rich Wiki
implementation written in PHP and using underlying MySQL
Database. This MediaWiki Software is used to run the popular
Web Encyclopedia www.wikipedia.org.
Here are the main benefits of MediaWiki:
-
It is open source, and as such – free to
use
-
You can edit your web pages online and check the
results on the spot – there is no need to upload or use FTP
-
It is an excellent collaboration tool allowing
different users to work on one and the same project
Note:
You can find the full documentation of the MediaWiki software at the
