<p><b>What is a “wiki”?</b>
</p><p>In a nutshell, it’s a virtual space ideal for working on collaborative projects. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki" class="external text" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki">Wikipedia</a> is probably the most well-known wiki.
</p><p><b>Who can use the University of Maine Cooperative Extension wiki?</b>
</p><p>PLTs, committees, login groups, any Extension employee with an eXtension ID.
</p><p><b>Where do I get an eXtension ID?</b>
</p><p>Go to <a href="http://people.extension.org" class="external free" title="http://people.extension.org">http://people.extension.org</a> and sign up.
</p><p><b>Can I use this wiki for projects that aren’t a part of eXtension?</b>
</p><p>Yes! You can use this wiki for any UMaine Cooperative Extension project.
</p><p><b>How do I get started?</b>
</p><p>If you’re familiar with wikis and already have an eXtension ID, simply login and create a new page or edit an existing one.
</p><p>If you’re new to wikis, check out the following helpful resources:
