Ward invented [wiki] and is proud that it is so often cloned. Ward was brought here by Google[http://www.google.com] which cites this as the number one wiki site, a fact that he attributes to replacing ? with / in the url.

Ward likes [perl] and expects that he should like Tk/Tcl even more. He read a book on Tk/Tcl once, but found this knowledge didn't help a bit working on a program written in Tk/Tcl objects. He has since read the [Unix] AIM client code which seemed straightforward enough.

Ward met [John Ousterhout] once when they both worked on IC [CAD]. John probably doesn't remember this. Hint: it was after a talk about [Corner Stitching].

[CL] responds:  Ward, it is ''great'' to have you here!

I think you're wrong.  This Wiki is indeed a successful one.
People tell us it's only mediocre in its technology.  Far
more important than the separator advantage (do we all believe
'/' is superior to '?'?) are social factors.

[JCW] nicely follows up, also on stardate May 23rd, 2005: this page has been around for a while.  I think the only reason it came up again, is because someone felt an urge to spray a kilroy-was-here style message here :(
