=So, just what //is// a wiki?= It’s easiest to think of a wiki as just a very simple web site. We immediately think of the 2-dimensional web pages of the last 10 years, where ‘view, point and click’ was the closest we non-programming peasants got to interaction, but there are important differences. A **//Wiki//** website is both simpler and more interactive - like a combination of a Web site and a Word document with one simple tool bar. If you're a member of the particular wiki (using wikispaces as an example) an **"Edit this Page"** icon will be visible and you can add your own contributions and tweak others. Have a look around. Yes, Wiki’s can just be viewed - like any other web site. You don’t have to be a member to read the content and to click and follow the links, but you __do__ have to be a member to edit pages and add or delete content. There are basically three levels of wiki access: Public, Protected and Private
