Wikis seem to combine several Web 2 services into one application. One problem I see is one that Wikipedia had & still has trouble in some areas (depends on who does the data entry). In the well visited areas, the data is becoming more accurate as area specialists corect/improve the published data.
Wikis are useful in the classroom as many students can add data & it can be checked by the teacher before being released to others (I know there are arguements against that review but in schools it appears to be needed). Many school based application managers have the Wiki written into them as part of the program.
In summary, Wikis are simple web pages that groups, friends, and families can edit together.
