+ | This is a "Wiki". What's a Wiki? |
||
+ | Let's pretend you and I want to write the definitive reference for Toastmasters in the world. |
||
+ | |||
+ | It would probably take several months for you and I just to decide on what needs to be in a resource like that. Then we either have to write it or commission other people to write it. Then we have to edit what they submit. |
||
+ | |||
+ | That's probably a two-year process. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The alternative, is that I visit an on-line resource, looking for, say, Table Topics. I find NOTHING. So I add one little idea. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Then you come along, looking for table topics ideas. You find my idea. So you add one of your own. |
||
+ | |||
+ | To see this in action, visit the very real Toastmasters wiki at http://toastmasters.wikicities.com |
||
+ | |||
+ | Now we've got two ideas -- and we're using each other's knowledge. |
||
+ | That's the idea behind this wiki. |
