# Wiki

We have described in more general terms how one would understand or expect to use various aspects of wiki. Visit this page to expand your neighborhood and then search for specifics without returning here.

Here we recall from memory the organization of wiki as a collaborative application platform.

We throw around a lot of terms when we talk about federated wiki that come from a variety of sources. Here we look at the sources and mention the most common names they provide.

This wiki deviates from most others in that each participant in a collaboration is expected to own their own working space. We will compare this metaphorical ownership with other things we own as a way of illuminating the unusual opportunities and common confusions herein.

# Tools

These are the programs that we will use to get this work done. When we suggest some operation without much explanation come here to find it explained and useful alternatives.
