Ward Cunningham

A wiki is a body of ideas that a community is willing to know and maintain. That community has every right to be cautiously selective in what it will groom. This particular wiki [Cunningham's] has been blessed with thoughtful, diligent, diverse and open-minded volunteers, who have invested years learning what works here and what doesn’t. When volunteers tire and depart, others take their place. I remain amazed that this works without mechanically enforced authority. Possibly it works because there is no mechanically enforced authority. In any event, I remain grateful to all volunteers, past, present and future.
