A wiki is a place where people collaborate to create rich resources of information. It's a place where a group can define and share common meanings. A wiki gets people on the same page. A great example of a wiki is the free encyclopedia: Wikipedia

millions of wikipedians use wikis

Wikipedia's awesome success has caught the eye of business. Wikis are proving to help people communicate better than email. The whole idea is to get people to share ideas, collaborate, and arrive at a consensus..

[edit] so why not a TPRS wiki?

TPRS is a useful, fast-growing method that helps people to learn languages. On the tprs mailing list, lots of us ask and answer questions, which creates rich streams of information. A problem may be that there's so much information, it can be hard to find what we want, when we want it..

Wikis allow us to organize and share our evolving knowledge and make it easier to find. Thus, this storyasking wiki invites people who use the moretprs mailing list to try something new: try using this wiki :)
