WikiWikiWeb

WikiWikiWeb is the first wiki ever created.

History
WikiWikiWeb was developed in 1994 by Ward Cunningham to make sharing ideas between programmers easier. The concept was based on the ideas developed in HyperCard stacks that Cunningham built in the late 1980s. On March 25, 1995, he installed WikiWikiWeb on his company's website, c2.com. Cunningham came up with the name WikiWikiWeb because he remembered a Honolulu International Airport counter employee who told him to take the Wiki Wiki Shuttle, a shuttle bus line that runs between the airport's terminals. Cunningham's idea was to make WikiWikiWeb's pages quickly editable by its users, so he initially thought about calling it "QuickWeb", but later changed his mind and dubbed it "WikiWikiWeb". The name comes from the Hawaiian word for "quick".

In December 2014, WikiWikiWeb was attacked by vandals, and editing was locked. On February 1, 2015 Cunningham announced that WikiWikiWeb had been rewritten as a single-page application and migrated to the new Federated Wiki.
