Wiki Info

What are the benefits of using a wiki?
How can we create one in this class and utilize it?
What experience do you have using or creating wikis?

The benefits of using a wiki is that it allows easier access to not only finding information, but organizing it. If we as a class were to create a wiki, each of us could edit and save additions to the wiki page and maintain it. I personally have never created a wiki, but I have searched on Wikipedia and wiki answers before.
