FlexWiki is, at its heart, a piece of software that lets you collaborate with others to create a set of web pages. That's it! But the way it lets you create those web pages is where its real power lies: FlexWiki strives to make page creation as simple and painless as possible.
To do this, FlexWiki provides three major features:
Collaboration. FlexWiki lets anyone edit any page, so that lots of people can work together quickly to create a useful website. IP addresses of serial wreckers can be blocked.
History. FlexWiki keeps track of every change to every page, so that if someone else makes a change you don't like, it's easy for you to undo it. This keeps good information from getting lost, while still letting everyone contribute.
A simple editing language. FlexWiki provides a language for editing web pages that is much easier to learn than HTML, while still retaining much of its power. For example, to make something bold, you simply enclose it in asterisks. So *bold* becomes bold. Read more about this at FormattingRules.
If this sounds simple, it's because it is! It's meant to be: that's the whole point of FlexWiki.
