1. Wiki – “quick” Getting Started With Wikis

2. Who developed the first wiki? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wikis Ward Cunningham created the first wiki in 1994, and released it in 1995, in order to facilitate communication between software developers.

3. What does the word, “wiki” mean? Cunningham created the first wiki in 1994, and released it in 1995, in order to facilitate communication between software developers. He chose "WikiWikiWeb" as the name based on his memories of the "Wiki Wiki Shuttle" at Honolulu International Airport, and because "wiki" is the Hawaiian word for "quick". The website met with success, and began to spawn alternative wiki applications and websites over the next five years. In the meantime, the first wiki, now known as "WardsWiki", evolved as features were added to the software and as the growing body of users developed a unique "wiki culture". By 2000, WardsWiki had developed a great deal of content outside of its original stated purpose, which led to the spinoff of content into sister sites, most notably MeatballWiki.
