I was on a conference call yesterday and we got to talking about all of the new tools that HEUG Online is rolling out. Then there was an anonymous call out: "what is a wiki, by the way?"Okay, haven't we all had this conversation? I never have a good canned answer for these things, so here you go:
A wiki, as defined on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki (spooky, that is like using your brain to think about your own brain). Or, if you prefer watching videos:

"Ah, ok, well, what is a blog then?"
