# WikiWikiWeb
WikiWikiWeb (also *c2 Wiki* or just *Wiki*) was the first ever created [wiki](wiki.md) (user editable) website, created in 1995 in [Perl](perl.md) by [Ward Cunningham](cunningham.md). It was focused on [software engineering](sw_engineering.md) and computer technology in general but included a lot of discussion and pages touching on other topics, e.g. those of politics, humor or nerd and [hacker](hacking.md) culture. The principles on which this site worked, i.e. allowing users to edit its pages, greatly influenced a lot of pages that came after that are now generally called [wikis](wiki.md), of which most famous is [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md). The style of WikiWikiWeb was partly an inspiration for our [LRS wiki](lrs_wiki.md).

It had over 36000 pages (http://c2.com/cgi/wikiPages). Since 2014 the wiki can no longer be edited due to vandalism, but it's still online. It was originally available at http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki, now at http://wiki.c2.com/ (sadly now requires [JavaScript](js.md), WTF how is this a hacker site???).
