Wiki Wiki

I have a NEW site. A "Wiki" site: http://teix.xwiki.com
You can go to my site and edit it to what YOU would like it to be and what text should be on it. Basically its a community site. Everyone can participate, and no, you don't have to sign up or register to do so.

Here is the definition of a "wiki" according to "Wikipedia":

A Wiki or wiki (pronounced [wɪkiː], [wiːkiː] or [viːkiː]; see Pronunciation below) is a web application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. Wiki also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website (see Wiki software).

Wiki (with an upper case 'W') and WikiWikiWeb are both used to refer specifically to the Portland Pattern Repository, the first wiki ever created. A lower-case 'w' for 'wiki' is generally used by savvy wiki proponents. The name was based on the Hawaiian term wiki wiki, meaning "quick" or "informal". It is used commonly in Hawaii as part of its rich "pidgin English" -- the creole language of the islands.

If you visit Hawaii, your first encounter with the word wiki will be on the "Wiki Wiki" airport shuttle buses that service the terminals at the Honolulu International Airport.
