Truly Open Directory: Disability Resources

A Hive Wiki enables web pages to be written collectively in a simple markup language using a web browser. A single page in a Hive Wiki is referred to as a "wiki page", while the entire body of pages, which are usually highly interconnected via hyperlinks, is "the wiki"; in effect, a Hive Wiki is actually a very simple, easy-to-use user-maintained database for searching or even creating information.
