wiki

There are a number of "general" structures of sites.

Hierical sites -- Yes I know that all sites are hierical, but the original set of sites were generally relatively static with a main page, sub pages, etc.

Blogs, Mailing lists -- e.g. linear sites -- Information is stored at the top, with the possibility of comments, fixed link out-pointers...

Forums -- generally 2 level comment areas with generally: 1) Topics, 2) Item (comments...)

Wikis -- sites that permit any set of approved (or all) users to edit any page.

• Wikipedia -- the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
  
• GrepWiki --a place where readers of Ed Foster's GripeLog can organize and share their experiences and opinions in the way they think best.
