Obligatory WIki Photo

Wow, I clicked on "NMC Conference" in WikiPedia and ended up here-- riding in the original Wiki Wiki buses that caught the imagination of Ward Cunningham, WikiFather:
Cunningham coined the term wiki after the "wiki wiki" or "quick" shuttle buses at Honolulu Airport. Wiki wiki was the first Hawaiian term he learned on his first visit to the islands, when the airport counter agent directed him to take the wiki wiki bus between terminals. According to Cunningham, "I chose wiki-wiki as an alliterative substitute for 'quick' and thereby avoided naming this stuff quick-web." (Wiki history)
