- Review versions. Most wikis store each version of a document. This functionality makes it easy
for users to view the various modifications that a document has undergone over time. - Build community-oriented tools. Most wikis provide users with an ability to engage in some
form of discussion about the documents on which they are collaborating.
Wikis can be open to all, such as Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) and Wikitravel
(http://www.wikitravel.org); they can be open to or aimed at certain communities only, such as Geek
Dinner attendees (http://geekdinner.pbwiki.com); or they can be private and open only to individuals
within an organization. Internal wikis are exceptionally useful for creating knowledge bases within
organizations and companies.
