For the record, CMS is "content management system."  Blogs, wikis and 
other learning management systems all fall under this genral umbrella 
term. "Wiki" is the Hawaiian word for "quick."  Wikis are quick because 
there is no HTML to compose and upload via FTP.  Wikis don't necessarily 
connote openness.
