On Wiki-Wiki (Thing #19)

Wikis are just plain cool. I think Wikipedia was most likely my first experience with a wiki. I've been a contributing user for a while, and haven't contributed all that much.

My favorite, though, is my small contribution to the Superior Hiking Trail entry, especially this picture.

The Apache Wiki was my inspiration for bringing MoinMoinWiki in house several years ago. One of my favorite features was it's ability to format different types of source code (which is likely why Apache Software Foundation uses it). Like Plone, MoinMoinWiki is written in python, but at the time I looked at it, it did not have the GUI editor - a major downside.
