=Welcome to the PrnJ 493A Class Wiki=

What's a Wiki? Let's ask a few wikis for the answer.

WikiWeb says "a wiki is a collaboration tool - a web site where the pages can be changed and **INSTANTLY published** using only a web browser (no programming required). Pages are **automatically created and linked** to each other."

According to the venerable Wikipedia: "A **wiki** (pronounced [|/ˈwɪki/] ) is a [|website] that allows the easy[|[1]] creation and editing of any number of [|interlinked] [|web pages] via a [|web browser] using a simplified [|markup language] or a [|WYSIWYG] text editor."

The original wiki, [|WikiWikiWeb] (the word "wiki" is Hawaiian for "quick" or "fast"), says wiki is "a composition system; it's a discussion medium; it's a repository; it's a mail system; it's a tool for collaboration. Really, we don't know quite what it is, but it's a fun way of communicating asynchronously across the network."

You'll note that this isn't a very good wiki because all of its links (so far) are external - taking you away from the site - rather than internal. So fix this!
