What is the purpose of the wiki?

The ProZ.com wiki aims to answer in several overlapping needs:

* knowledgebase that can be edited
* FAQ where frequent askers can be pointed to
* reference where answers to question can be quoted from
* place where useful forum posts can be stored more permanently
* place where useful information is accessible for longer
* guide for new translators

The basic idea is that everyone can add or edit what was written previously, and through a continuous process a useful set of articles may result.
