when i hear the word "wickie" in austria at the moment i rather think of yet another psychological mass phenomenon than of some cool software idea. but exceptionally i am wrong here in many ways.

first of all, the word in question is spelled "wiki" and i assume it originates from the anglo-american language. and it is in fact the name of a weird hypertext system. wiki brings back the editor to the world wide web, something tim berners-lee never considered as an option but as an unalterable quality of his invention. take that, suits!

on my way through this site (which i already got to know browsing for references on extreme programming) i found a good old buddy going wiki as zwiki.

i found out about all of this because i got to know a wiki expert via weblogging: christian langreiter adapted wiki to work with rebol and calls his baby vanilla. i just installed vanilla and was not disappointed. vanilla is a flavor you can rely on: simple and seductive.

feels like a i peeped through a keyhole into a new little universe.
