A MuSwiki is a Swiki-like system which uses Morphic objects instead of HTML. The key features of a MuSwiki are:
- the use of Morphic objects (See MorphicInterface) instead of HTML code.
- Pages look the same on anyone's browser.
- Any user may update any page in the system.
- Users are prevented from updating a page at the same time.
- When one user updates a page, all other users viewing the same page are shown the new version.
- Content may contain arbitrary Smalltalk code behind the scenes!

"...arbitrary Smalltalk code behind the scenes" sounds like a major security hazard. I assume that MuSwiki should only be used among a small group of trusted peers? --PatrickParker
...Pages look the same on anyone's browser
Why is this a good thing?
I don't understand the use of the term Morphic (i.e. a shape*) in this context. Could someone please explain?*
Morphic is part of SqueakSmalltalk and seems to be for rapid GUI creation.
