About Swik

According to the swik about page, "Swik project pages are different from the typical wiki pages you may have seen before. Each project page has a bunch of topics: anyone can add or edit topics, or add or edit entries in topics". Swik also has the two key buzz features whcih may make it an essential resource: social-bookmark-like tagging and powerful exposure of RSS Feeds
