The term Wiki also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website. Wiki (with an upper case W) and WikiWikiWeb are both used to refer specifically to the Portland Pattern Repository, the first wiki ever created. Wiki proponents often spell 'wiki' with a lower case "w". The name is based on the Hawaiian term wiki wiki, meaning "quick" or "informal". Sometimes wikiwiki (or Wikiwiki) is used instead of wiki. There are wikis throughout the website. If you want to work with someone or several someone's on a project together just select a wiki. Those who have facilitator status can set up a wiki.
