Definition:
A **wiki** ([|IPA]: [ˈwɪ.kiː]  or [ˈwiː.kiː] [|[1]]) is a type of [|website] that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove and otherwise [|edit] and change some available content, sometimes without the need for registration. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for [|collaborative authoring]. The term wiki can also refer to the [|collaborative software] itself ([|wiki engine]) that facilitates the operation of such a website, or to certain specific wiki sites, including the computer science site (an original wiki), [|WikiWikiWeb], and the online encyclopedias such as [|Wikipedia]. The first such software to be called a wiki, [|WikiWikiWeb], was named by [|Ward Cunningham]. Cunningham remembered a Honolulu International Airport counter employee telling him to take the so-called "Wiki Wiki" Chance RT-52 shuttle bus line that runs between the airport's terminals. According to Cunningham, "I chose wiki-wiki as an alliterative substitute for 'quick' and thereby avoided naming this stuff quick-web." "Wiki Wiki" is a reduplication of "wiki", a [|Hawaiian-language] word for fast. The word wiki is a shorter form of **wiki wiki** (weekie, weekie). The word is sometimes interpreted as the [|backronym] for "what I know is", which describes theknowledge contribution, storage and exchange function. According to Cunningham, the idea of wiki can be traced back to a [|HyperCard] stack he wrote in the late 1980s. In the late 1990s, wikis were increasingly recognized as a promising way to develop private and public [|knowledge bases][[|//citation needed//]], and this potential inspired the founders of the [|Nupedia] encyclopedia project, which later became [|Wikipedia]. In the early 2000s, wikis were increasingly adopted in the enterprise as collaborative software. Common uses included project communication, intranets and documentation, initially for technical users. In December 2002, [|Socialtext] launched the first commercial open source wiki solution. Open source wiki software was widely available, downloaded and installed throughout these years. Today some companies use wikis as their only collaborative software and as a replacement for static [|intranets]. There is arguably greater use of wikis behind firewalls than on the public internet.
