What is a Wiki?
A wiki is a simple but powerful way for any group of people to collaboratively build a website. It is ideal way to meet the needs so-far-identified by the Pesticide Working Group (PWG) "tools sub-group."
If that's enough explanation for you, continue on to HowDoWeAddToTheWiki. If you want a little more technical and marketing information first, read on.
This wiki is free! Of course, there is no free lunch. The host company, [PBWiki], makes money by showing discreet ads on the wiki, and by encouraging users to upgrade their wiki to the "Silver" version (or higher). The Silver version of PBWiki is $10 per month and offers benefits we would probably want if our wiki becomes very popular within Coming Clean's PWG.
The next level of power in tools for collaboratively building a website would be a "content management system" (CMS). The leading CMS is Drupal, and Drupal software is free! But that's just the software. We would still need a web server that can host the Drupal software on the web. Access to a web server typically costs about $10 per month.
