1.1. Introduction

The DR Wiki aims to be a collaborative wiki system, based upon the Wikipedia wiki system (http://www.mediawiki.org) and the a1_wiki extension by Mirko Balluff. It was created for a research program, in order to serve as an exchange point for ideas and thoughts. This extension is in active development as of April 10th, 2004.

What does it do?

Generally, a WikiWikiWeb enables documents to be written collectively in a simple markup language using a web browser. Because most wikis are web-based, the term "wiki" is usually sufficient. A single page in a wiki is referred to as a "wiki page", while the entire body of pages, which are usually highly interconnected, is called "the wiki".

One of the defining characteristics of wiki technology is the ease with which pages can be created and updated. Generally, there is no prior review before modifications are accepted, and most wikis are open to the general public - or at least anyone who has access to the wiki server.

DR Wiki offers the following features:

  • Basic formatting of content

  • Versioning

  • Easy to use

  • Tables

  • External images

  • Plug-Ins

  • and much more...
