This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for collaborative authoring. The term wiki can also refer to the collaborative software itself (wiki engine) that facilitates the operation of such a website, or to certain specific wiki sites, including the computer science site (an original wiki), WikiWikiWeb, and the online encyclopedias such as Wikipedia.
The first such software to be called a wiki, WikiWikiWeb, was created by Ward Cunningham." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki)
