You're not questioning the reliability of Wiki, are you?

The veracity of Wikipedia and other encyclopedias aside, I find it interesting how the word wiki has been genericized from its meaning as a kind of web application to come to mean a particular wiki that uses that software to publish an online encyclopedia. The first instance of wiki as software was on the c2.com website. It is not an encyclopedia, it is the Portland (Oregon) Patterns Repository (link). I am not complaining about this usage, as it is perfectly normal example of semantic drift and it causes no confusion for me, but thought you'd like to know. (In its way it is similar to calling any dictionary a Websters.)

Ceci n'est pas un seing.
