Count wiki.com as another business devoted to making wikis--or jointly authored and edited web site--as common as plain old Web sites.
MindTouch, a company which makes pre-packaged "wiki appliances," said on Monday that it is supplying the back-end software for wiki.com, a wiki hosting service which is still in beta.
