WikiWikiWeb
In 1995 a wiki was "the simplest online database that could possibly work." (From here)
The first ever wiki site was created for the Portland Pattern Repository in 1995.
- The landing page.
- It had a section to welcome visitors.
- A selection of pages that could serve as starting points.
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.
