WikiWikiWeb was the first such site to be called a wiki.^[4] Ward Cunningham started developing WikiWikiWeb in 1994 and installed it on Internet domainc2.com on March 25, 1995. It was named by Cunningham, who remembered a Honolulu International Airport counter employee telling him to take the so-called "Wiki Wiki" Chance RT-52 shuttle bus line that runs between the airport's terminals. According to Cunningham, "I chose wiki-wiki as an alliterative substitute for 'quick' and thereby avoided naming this stuff quick-web."^[1][8] Wiki Wiki is a reduplication of wiki, a Hawaiian-language word for fast. The word wiki is a shorter form of wiki wiki (IPA /wiːkiː wiːkiː/). Wikipedia 

Working Together Using Your Wiki (Why are you creating a wiki?)

Think of this wiki as a shared online whiteboard. Your entire group can share information using this wiki, making your whiteboard accessible to everyone. Play around with this wiki. Notice how you can add comments to a page, see what people have changed, and edit all the text. This is a Group Project. You can work on it any time you have access to the internet, especially during Computer Class. However, only one person can edit a wiki at a time. You will organize your time so each member contributes to the wiki equally.

Password For Your Wiki

Speak to Mr. Prazak privately. Once you have your wiki's password, you can edit your wiki any time. You do not need permission to go onto your wiki because it belongs to you and your Group Members. Only you and your Group Members will edit your wiki.

Group Members (These are only examples.)

• Person 1 (email & phone number)
• Person 2 (email me)
• Person 3 (phone number)
• Person 4 (buddy@buddy.com)
