This glossary is an ongoing volunter project that aims to define terms that have developed special meaning among those who write, play, and study interactive fiction (which in this case means a specific kind of parser-based computer game, not literary hypertext). The wiki philosophy is that any page in a wiki text is part of a discussion, and no page is ever finished. —Interactive Fiction Glossary (IF Theory Book)
This glossary has been neglected lately, mostly because my new job took up much of the time I had been devoting to interactive fiction. I’d love to see some activity on the IF glossary again.

Thank you, I will check out the site during study hall. It sounds unusual and interesting.
Sure. A wiki is a kind of text that can be edited by any reader. Using a wiki makes us think completely differently about issues such as authorship and textual “ownership”.
You can find out a bit more about wikis by reading an entry in the best-known wiki, the Wikipedia.

Could you explain wiki text? I read it all, but am not sure I understand.
