Seminar 8: Wiki

Today I'm going to give a feedback on Wiki experience.

   But first, let me explain what is Wiki as a whole.

   All of us use such a source as Wikipedia. It's one of the genres of wiki sites. Wiki is a web technology used for collaborative publishing on the web. Wiki is a type of server software that allows you to work with data on a remote server on the Web. Users interact with the software through a web interface that lets them read, edit and publish content.
