Cincom Smalltalk Wikis Keep You Informed Online
A wiki is a web page that visitors browse and edit themselves. Wikis can be operated by anyone and are often completely independent, making them democratic or anarchic, depending on your point of view. In any case, their users are part of a community of likeminded people.
Here's a link to three wikis, one each for Cincom, VisualWorks and ObjectStudio.
