In this section, let's talk about the things that we're going to cover within the Introduction to Wikis title. First I'm going to give you a brief introduction to wikis.

We're going to cover the father of wikis, Wikipedia, we're going to talk about wiki engines, version control, wiki hosting, creating your very own wiki, advanced wiki knowledge and then we're going to talk about some wiki best practices.
