"openSUSE Linux Unleashed"

It combines features of email lists, software documentation
tools, and the simple structure of the Web to generate useful, accessible, and
frequently updated and reviewed information.
The idea caught on, and people are collaborating with Wikis in all sorts of ways. The best
known example of a successful and popular Wiki is Wikipedia.org. Its goal is to produce a
basic compendium of human knowledge about most anything. As of February 2005, the
English version of Wikipedia was approaching 500,000 articles produced, with at least
some articles in some 20 other languages. It has spawned other projects, including
WikiQuotes, the Wiktionary, and the Wikinews citizen journalism project.
Dozens of packages have been written to create Wikis with. These packages, called
WikiEngines, have varying features. Like blog software, one WikiEngine should meet your
needs and idiosyncrasies. Wikipedia and opensuse.org use the MediaWiki engine, which is
built for heavy traffic. openSUSEOther engines are easy to get, with varying degrees of
installation difficulty.
