The 
Portland Pattern Repository set up by WardCunningham
"Historical Note. The first ever wiki site was created for the Portland Pattern Repository in 1995."
the start of all this. It is a wiki site with a very large community focused on software development, especially program pattern concepts. Its large community, with some:
- more than 30,000 pages (as of 2004-12-27)
- 27,881 pages (as of 2004-05-23)
that also wanders into many other interesting areas, making it a great source of information, particularly for technical matters.
Since this HwoWiki site is a relatively small site in terms of its active users, it does not make sense to replicate the extensive work being undertaken at other sites. Instead, it would be ideal to link to these sites, perhaps even with reciprocal courtesies. For example:
Wiki:WardsWiki: AnswerMe is a good idea I acquired from this site and am planning to implement here as AnswerMe. -- hwo.
