Abstract (EN): The use of wiki tools in both personal as well as professional contexts has known a significant increase in the past few years, with some wiki-based applications reaching an enormous success at an international level. This paper provides an overview on the recent development of wiki technologies and, through the analysis of a survey, tries to determine what is the level of acceptance of wiki-hased applications in a professional, academic environment, presenting several statistics collected from the answers to a survey. Also, some suggestions are presented, that may influence the future developments of wiki-related technologies and methodologies, in order to increase the productivity of Web based collaborative work.
