[cvsnt] Please restore your CvsNT guide

[Adam Shand]

A wiki is a cgi script which creates a collaborative online environment. 
  They work quite well for allowing a community to generate online 
documentation, though they do tend to be a bit anarchic and rub some 
people the wrong way.

They have a couple distinctive features:

  * Anyone can edit any page at any time (they use methods like revision 
control to protect against abuse).

  * The use a simple markup which is good for writing documentation 
(don't have to worry about closing tags etc)

  * The use camel case WikiWords to automatically create links to other 
pages.  In this example anywhere WikiWords appears in a page it would 
actually be a link to a page called "WikiWords".

If you're interested in learning more you can see the original c2 wiki 
(it was developed originally for discussions on "extreme programming").

MeatBall is another very popular wiki dedicated to the discussion of 
online communities with particular attention paid to wiki's.
