Guerilla wiki

A guerilla wiki is a wiki requiring no or minimal installation that is used, generally in a corporate environment, as an alternative to hosting a wiki server. Largely what distinguishes it from a normal wiki is the institutional politics that precludes a more conventional wiki solution.

Because of the red tape involved in allocating IT resources to hosting a wiki server and the restrictions placed on regular user computers, it is often difficult or impossible to install a wiki in a corporate environment. Similarly, it is generally a violation of security policy to post sensitive corporate information on an externally managed wiki. Therefore, employees in need of a wiki can place a guerilla wiki, generally in the form of a small program or html file that requires no installation, onto a shared drive to be used in lieu of an "official" wiki. An example of guerrilla wiki is tiddlywiki.
