Wiki’s can be made public, private, or accessible to only an invited group (let’s say a class group working on project). Editors can also decide for each user or group who can get access to view, edit/make changes, post comments. Three different editor types are available. A quick wiki we created using Zoho. Of course, wiki’s are just one part of the growing line of Zoho web-based services.
