Let's just focus on wiki for now.  Rather than trying to "get it", may 
I recommend just playing with it.  Here's a quick on-line tutorial for 
you (or anyone else) to practice with:

Entering text
  click here: http://www.cwelug.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?Local_Sandbox
  at the bottom of the page, click the "Edit text of this page" link
  type some text in the text box, like "Hello World"
  click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page
  notice how "Hello World" is now on the page for everyone in the world 
to see

Finding stuff
   click here:  http://www.cwelug.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?Local_Sandbox
   enter the text "colinux" in the search text box at the bottom of the 
page
   press enter
   a list of wiki pages appears that contain the phrase "colinux"

BTW, the above text is also available in wiki form:

If you'd like to add/modify the content in the tutorial, see the 
instructions above.

Regards,
