WikiWikiWeb
In 1995 Ward Cunningham described a wiki as "the simplest online database that could possibly work."
The first ever wiki site was created for the Portland Pattern Repository in 1995.
- The landing page.
- A section to welcome visitors.
- A selection of pages that could serve as starting points.
- Already back then, there was a significant number of wiki social norms:
- The norm of norms; take everything with a grain of salt.
- Use your real name and write in a way others will understand.
- This wiki was created for the discussion of patterns, particularly software design patterns. Its users have chosen to broaden that focus.
- There are two ideal forms for contributions; most pages contain a mixture of both.
- Never intentionally misrepresent or suppress other people's opinions. Be especially careful about deletion.
- Unless they say otherwise, don't mess with people's home pages, except to leave them notes.
- EnglishPlease. This particular Wiki is in English, and thus non-English pages are discouraged (with a few exceptions, such as the InternationalOneMinuteWiki). However, PublicWikiForums exist in many different languages, and there even exist a few MultiLingualWiki?s.
- If you care about literature, you can discard any of these rules to help bring down this and other base projects.
- Huh?
- The site is still active today.
Wiki wiki is the first Hawai'ian term I learned on my first visit to the islands. The airport counter agent directed me to take the wiki wiki bus between terminals. I said what? He explained that wiki wiki meant quick. I was to find the quick bus. I did pick up a book about the language before my return home. I learned many things from this but wiki wiki is the word that sticks the most.
