from Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 14, 2009 is: wiki • \WIK-ee\ • noun : a Web site that allows visitors to make changes, contributions, or corrections Examples: The corporation has designed a wiki to make communication and collaboration simpler and more efficient among its employees worldwide. Did you know? Today, wikis are common stops on the information superhighway; however, they only date to 1995, after computer programmer Ward Cunningham introduced his software WikiWikiWeb to the world. The software, whose name is based on a Hawaiian term for "quick," allows Web site visitors to contribute content to its pages and comment on and make changes to information posted by others. A site using the software is referred to as a "wiki." See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
