Abstract
Historically, when business organizations realized that web
technology could also be used internally, the development of
intra-webs took off rapidly. In 2002, several studies showed that
75% of web servers where running behind enterprise firewalls.
For years, the World Wide Web has been a de facto read only
media where anyone could browse and only a very few could
publish. Similarly for intra-webs: the one webmaster syndrome
killed in the egg the potential for collaboration and sharing.
On the World Wide Web things have changed rapidly in the last
two years with the emergence of Blogs and Wikis: the Web
started to turn into a more writable media. The browser can be
used now to edit and create content like the very first browser
which Tim Berner’s Lee wrote in the early 90’s.
So, with a little delay, wikis and blogs started to appear in the
intranet world as well. In this paper, we present the wiki concept
and focus on its use in the intranet context, both in academic and
in business organizations.
