Collaborative Wikis
Collaborative wikis are web-based platforms that allow multiple users to create, edit, and organize content collectively in a simple, linked format. They enable real-time or asynchronous collaboration on documentation, knowledge bases, and project information, often featuring version control, discussion threads, and access controls. These tools are widely used in teams, organizations, and communities to centralize and share knowledge efficiently.
Developers should learn and use collaborative wikis to improve team communication, document codebases, and maintain project knowledge in a centralized, accessible location. They are essential for agile development, onboarding new team members, and creating living documentation that evolves with the project. Use cases include internal team wikis for software projects, open-source community documentation, and knowledge management in tech companies.
