History of wiki

The original WikiWikiWeb was established by Ward Cunningham, who invented and named the Wiki concept and produced the first implementation of a WikiWiki server.

Ward's Wiki remains one of the most popular Wiki sites:

Some more historical information would be good; info about the wiki ethos; about the varieties of wiki software; about the various (many) wikis now online. Wikipedia seems like a natural place to develop an article on the subject of wikis!

You've seen the Web, now try the book: The Wiki Way Quick Collaboration on the Web by Bo Leuf and Ward Cunningham, Addison- Wesley March 2001, ISBN 0-201-71499-X.
