With this web-based application every user is capable to create a comprehensive knowledge base or an interactive website on any personal, corporate or social topic, and share it with the user's community. The wiki engine enables each member to search, read, add and edit articles, and thus improve the content of the wiki. Wiki software can be downloaded as a ready-made tool and in the majority of cases its use is free of charge.
