A wiki Explained

[Philip Copeman]

What is a Wiki ?

As a result of my email  to the consultants this week , some of you have asked me,  What is a Wiki? If you are familiar with these concepts please excuse  this email. Sorry some of you may get this email twice, but because it is so important I want everyone to get the opportunity to participate in this opportunity. A Wiki is a web page that anyone can edit.  Yes, you can set up a web page yourself without anyone else involved, no consultants, no HTML, no ftp. You just enter text straight onto the web. This is a great way for groups of people (Like the TurboCASH Community) to build a knowledge base. If you want to go and write about how to use TurboCASH in the hairdressing industry in Chile,  simply start typing! Its all based on Open Source. The following are examples of a  Wiki Wikipedia               http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page TurboCASH           http://www.box.co.za/wiki/index.php/Main_Page A place to begin    http://www.box.co.za/wiki/index.php/Sandbox Use the Sandbox to learn if you are unfamilair  with a Wiki. We have a NEW section on the TurboCASH Wiki for consultants. This will replace our current consultants lookup page. Here is a place where you now  have an address on the web - free. You can manage your own  address details. You can expand this as much as you like.  We will promite this adressfor you to the users. http://www.box.co.za/wiki/index.php/Consultants For free we will submit these pages to search engines and peple will start to find you on the web. As an example type the following phrase into Google. TurboCASH Community Wiki Get started now this exciting new technology awaits you. The business opporitunities will come fast. Currently we are offering you this Wiki facility free, based on the Google ads that it generates. Lets hope that model lasts! So don't be scared to click on an ad each time you do, it goes a way towards providing you this service free. If you are interested in getting your own Wiki, with your own branding, contact our web hosts,  di...@4box.net There are two sections to the TurboCASH Wiki - The Main page - which deals with matters relating to the community project. The Community Page - which you can use for your own interests.  So you have a Wiki for free, you can start you own  web page immeadiately. You can choose your topics. You do not have to keep to the topic of the TurboCASH project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TurboCASH 3.74 now released TurboCASH is now  downloading faster than ever.
