It's a collaborative infrastructure such that if you visit the page and
(for example) notice a typo, you can click the "Edit" button and fix the
typo yourself. Or add a new page. Or extend someone elses article. Or
a bunch of people can all work on a "PostgreSQL Tuning Guide", etc.

Am new to Wiki's myself, but they seem to be *extremely* beneficial when
implemented correctly (i.e. authorised users, etc).

Just has to be done properly (like anything).
