# 260608 — c2 wiki origins (Ward Cunningham)
|
|
|
|
Date: 2026-06-08

|
|
## What this is
|
|
|
|
Research into the beginnings of the wiki movement through Ward Cunningham,
|
|
the Portland Pattern Repository, and the original **WikiWikiWeb** at c2.com.
|
|
|
|
Focus: popular terms, social conventions, and documented use cases from and
|
|
about the c2 wiki. **Federation is explicitly out of scope** for this
|
|
exploration (separate research planned).
