'''What is a “wiki”?'''

In a nutshell, it’s a virtual space ideal for working on collaborative projects. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki Wikipedia] is probably the most well-known wiki.

'''Who can use the University of Maine Cooperative Extension wiki?'''

PLTs, committees, login groups, any Extension employee with an eXtension ID.

'''Where do I get an eXtension ID?'''

Go to http://people.extension.org and sign up.

'''Can I use this wiki for projects that aren’t a part of eXtension?'''

Yes! You can use this wiki for any UMaine Cooperative Extension project.

'''How do I get started?'''

If you’re familiar with wikis and already have an eXtension ID, simply login and create a new page or edit an existing one.

If you’re new to wikis, check out the following helpful resources:

* [http://collaborate.extension.org/wiki/Working_in_MediaWiki_-_an_Article_Start_to_Finish Working in MediaWiki - an Article Start to Finish] (includes lessons on basic markup, creating links, adding images, etc.)
