Wiki Introduction

�� 

Wiki Origin

“Wiki” (engl.: quick) is part of the Hawaian word wiki-wiki, which means “very quick”. The naming was inspired by Wiki-Wiki Busses, that connect the Terminals at Honolulu International Airport (HNL), Hawaii.
The very first wiki originates from the developer Ward Cunningham, who rather incidentely designed this technique around 1995 as a small practical tool for quick and straightforward collaboration in software development.

Wiki Philosophy

A Wiki-Wiki-Net consists of pages as space to share common tasks. Simply spoken: Joint text editing and distribution never has been easier before.

In addition the documentation is driven by the strive for Zen ideals, mainly pointed out through WabiSabi 侘寂. Zen catches a glimpse of beauty in the imperfection and impermanence of existing things. That is all there really is to know.

Ways to use a wiki

Can you imagine other ways of using a wiki than listed below?
You decide how to use your wiki!
Do not hesitate to write down your ideas and experiences.

In General

A wiki can be used in different ways. Here is a short list:

Authoring tool
A database for some subject
A personal “notebook” or organizer
A method for managing personal or group to-do lists and checklists
A tool for creating and maintaining real-time documentation for a project
A means of organizing one's own thoughts

Some short examples

Is there something like the best Wiki-Software?

Hm. Some developers try to create all-in-one devices suitable for every purpose. A tool which does everything and satisfies every users needs presumably is infeasible. We favor tools that do little, but do it as well as possible. Every wiki-software has pros and cons. There are many other wikis? that can be compared with WackoWiki.

What else is there?

differentiation – forum, blog, cms

How does “Wiki” translate?

“Wiki” (engl.: quick, to be swift) is part of the Hawaian word wiki-wiki, which means “very quick”. Ward Cunningham was inspired by Wiki-Wiki Busses?, that connect the Terminals at Honolulu International Airport (HNL), Hawaii.

How did the first wiki emerge?

The very first wiki originates from the developer Ward Cunningham, who rather incidentely designed this technique 1995 as a small practical tool for quick and straightforward collaboration in software development.

A Wiki: What is that?

Why Wiki works

Why no one deletes a wiki

Never has anyone tried to delete as many wiki pages as possible. That has specific reasons:

Most people have a good heart.
Until now, no one has ever tried such a silly thing.
Wikis are not that easy to find, unless one gets a hint or searches for it.
Why should someone destroy something while beeing ignored when instead one can contibute/write something?
The attempt is useless, knowing that anyone can redo the deletion. If the page still stays deleted that makes sense, since obviously there is no use for this page.
Many people do not even discover the link to edit a page.
People have better things to do.
Vandalism that is not forbidden no longer remains vandalism. There is no rule to break, no power to challenge. What sense does vandalism make then?
Why do something not rewarding?

Questions

The wiki software?

What will I get after installing and starting for the first time?
You will get your Wiki-Web-Site including a minimal set of pages. You can start right on creating new pages

Can everybody create individual pages?

This depends on fine adjustment. The original wiki-concept allowed everyone to change erverything. In real life that is not always an advantage and therefore WackoWiki software allows to assign flexible rights. By default every user can create pages. These settings can be changed for the wiki, for clusters or for single pages.
