Origins of the wiki

I was reading on the wiki site Appropedia this evening and happened to search Wikipedia for the term "wiki". At the end of my search I watched a video of Ward Cunningham, the programmer who is attributed with creating the wiki in 1994, discussing the evolution of user-editable websites used for collaboration on the internet. Mr. Cunningam is soft spoken and I gained a valuable understanding of the purpose of wikis by watching the video.
