Introduction

Origins

The original idea for WebWeb came from Ward Cunningham's WikiWikiWeb program. WebWeb takes the idea of WikiWikiWeb and adds new features to it, such as access control, archiving, extended citations, email notification and more.

The original WikiWikiWeb is still great fun to use, although it requires a degree of maturity from all of its users, and doesn't provide the security, archival, and accountability features that WebWeb does. It can be found at http://c2.com/cgi/wiki.
