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. “Wiki Wiki” is a reduplication of “wiki”, a Hawaiian language word for “quick”.[7] 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”.
cool
Ah yes, in the days of the Wiki Wiki Wild Wild Web.
Sorry to be a pain; I believe the correct term is “World Wide Wiki Wiki Wild Wild Web”. But we usually just say “WWWWWWW” which is super short and easier to type.
Pepperidge farm remembers.
Early wikis were wild.
“We” implemented forums by just repeatedly editing a page and leaving a --Username, and it was all on the honor system.
