There’s a lot of ways to describe what StikiPad is. Officially, it’s a hosted wiki provider that lets you collaborate online – unofficially, it’s a blank piece of paper where you decide its use. StikiPad is written completely in Ruby on Rails and utilizes technologies such as AJAX to increase usability within the StikiPad interface. They host StikiPad in a private datacenter to maximize security of your data, and take many precautions to ensure your data is never compromised. Where StikiPad differs from regular wikis is in the features and its easy administration. Whether or not you’ve used a wiki before doesn’t matter – if you can use a word processor and e-mail files, you’ll be able to use StikiPad.
