This should at least include some mention of the Portland Pattern Repository's WikiWikiWeb and the name "wiki" coming from the wikiwiki shuttle (i.e., quick). PiRSquared17 (talk) 00:15, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
- feel free to add it! He mentions the wikiwikiweb in the video, and i have a screenshot of that which mentions Portland Pattern Repository in it Vgrigas (talk) 19:53, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- I'm going to add some transcribed quotes from the interview (as soon as it's OK to publish content from the interview on this draft), as a teaser. It has a lot of interesting remarks about the genesis of the Portland Pattern Repository - I wasn't necessarily going to highlight the wikiwiki shuttle story because that has been amply covered elsewhere (cf. w:wiki#History, but rather some other intriguing aspects of how WikiWikiWeb evolved from HyperCard.
