The term
WikiWiki ("wiki wiki" means "quick" in the Hawaiian language) can be used to identify either a type of
hypertext document or the software used to write it. Often called "wiki" for short, the collaborative software application enables web documents to be authored collectively using a simple markup scheme and without the content being reviewed prior to its acceptance. The resulting collaborative hypertext document, also called either "wiki" or "WikiWikiWeb
?," is typically produced by a community of users. Many wikis are immediately identifiable by their use of
CamelCase, produced by capitalizing words in a phrase and removing the spaces between them; this turns the phrase into an automatic link.
The original WikiWikiWeb was established by Ward Cunningham, who invented and named the Wiki concept, and produced the first implementation of a WikiWiki server. Some people maintain that only Ward's wiki should be called Wiki (upper case) or the WikiWikiWeb.
