In simple terms WIKI is a web site which allows users to edit the content. 
It seems so cool but... They say it is beneficial for group work, 
communications, etc., etc..
I'm beginning to believe those millions of people you see talking on 
portable phones everywhere and almost continuously have indeed so much to 
communicate among themselves that yet another means like WIKI was indeed 
necessary just so that they can catch up with whatever they missed on the 
phone, email, p2p, instant messaging, beeper, answering machine, weblog, 
smoke, mirrors...

That I agree and wouldn't mind updating once in a while. Basically a web 
based database of MC knowledge.
