Years ago I went to a conference and I heard a New Zealand man talk about Wikipedia. Having missed the start of the talk, I assumed that a Wiki was some kind of Kiwi thing like Wirinaki. It was ages before I discovered my mistake.
I think the humble wiki is one of those web 2 tools that (unlike many of the others) is likely to last. After all it serves that simple function that Tim Berners-Lee intended for the original html web. That is easy, low tech, online information sharing.
Most of the Wikis I have seen haven't been pretty (our own Libnet included), but they sure are functional. Allowing a lot of web writers to get on with the real work.
