What is a wiki?
A wiki is a type of website that allows users to easily add, remove, or change content. This content can be anything from text to images. What makes wikis special is that many people can work on the same page at the same time, making it a collaborative effort. This means that the information on a wiki can be updated quickly and by anyone who has access. Wikipedia is the most famous example of a wiki, where volunteers from around the world write and edit articles about all sorts of topics. Wikis are often used for gathering and sharing knowledge, for projects, or as a part of a community.
Why a wiki?
The Last Reformation is a movement that started back in 2011. It has been a pioneering work with the goal of seeing a form of christianity that more closely resemble that what we read in the book of Acts. Over the years, many people tried different things, starting local churches, trying other forms of evangelism. Some were succesful, others not. It has been a learning experience.
In order to learn from each other, and grow together as a body, the idea came to make a platform where everyone can contribute to. A wiki seemed to be the most suitable way to do this, so everything can be presented in an organized way and all material easy to find for visitors.
