You can edit this page right now! It's a free, community project
In principle, a wiki is for whatever its users want it to be for. The format lends itself to collaboration--but collaboration that involves anyone at all, who can do anything they want to the pages. You might think that this leads to disruption.
The idea is that anyone can share the knowledge they have with anyone else!
