Welcome to the original WikiWikiWeb! This site is a ContentCreationWiki whose focus is PeopleProjectsAndPatterns in SoftwareDevelopment.

元祖ウィキウィキウェブへようこそ！
このサイトはソフトウェア開発における
プロジェクトやパターンに焦点を当てた
ウィキです。

The ideas of "Wiki" may seem strange at first, but dive in and explore its links. "Wiki" is a composition system; it's a discussion medium; it's a repository; it's a mail system; it's a tool for collaboration. Really, we don't know quite what it is, but it's a fun way of communicating asynchronously across the network.

「ウィキ」のアイデアは一見変に見えますが
リンクに飛び込んで探検することができます。
「ウィキ」は議論の手段であったり情報の保存場所であったり
Eメールであったりコラボレーションツールであったりします。
本当に私たち自身もウィキがなんなのかわかっていません。
しかしウィキは非同期でネットワーク間をコミュニケーションする
面白い方法です。

The name "Wiki" is strange too - what does it mean? The WikiWikiWebFaq answers this and other questions, but the short answer is that "WikiWiki" is Hawaiian for "quick".

「ウィキ」という名前もまた変ですよね。
どういう意味なのでしょう？
その答えは「The WikiWikiWebFaq answers」に色々書いてあるのですが
一番端的に言うと、ハワイ語で「手っ取り早い」を意味する「WikiWiki」からきています。

You should start with WelcomeVisitors. It describes what we are doing, as well as how to get around, and how to get involved. Watch the pages expand and refine here. Watch the discussions that surround the process. Watch information AutoMagically crystallize!

まずは「WelcomeVisitors」から始めてみてください。
ここに私たちが行っていることや閲覧方法、巻き込み方までが
書かれています。
ここの内容が、広がり、改良され、その過程で議論され、
そして魔法のごとく自動的に具体化されるのです！


To find a page on any specific topic, go to FindPage. To see an auto-generated list of pages which have changed recently, try RecentChanges. If you want a short list of randomly-selected pages, try RandomPages. CategoryCategory is the top level of page categorization; you can use it to delve deeper into the site.

Edit pages by using the EditText link at the bottom of the page you wish to edit. Don't worry too much about messing up, as the original text is backed up and can be easily restored (meaning, everyone can see the changes made, and will be able to correct mistakes, erase, and so on, if necessary).

The Text Formatting Rules are quite simple, and the Tips For Beginners will help you learn to apply them gracefully. You'll probably want to start by editing pages that already exist. The WikiWikiSandbox is set aside for editing practice. Go there now to try it. (Please don't edit this page; changes here will likely be reversed within a few minutes).

Once you've made a couple of updates, you'll be ready to participate in discussions on the "Wiki", and before you know it you will be Adding New Pages.

Please read WikiWikiSystemNotice for the latest information regarding the operation of this site.

The VisualTour link (located at the bottom of every page) was once a clickable map of the largest pages reachable in a few clicks from FrontPage. The map was generated from dot source and transmitted to your browser. You could even try wider or deeper graphs. See VisualTour for more details. Alas, it is no more.
