  Abstract of Talk

 Ward Cunningham invented Wiki technology to solve a specific problem to do
with people working together. This talk explores the spice he included in
the technology. It is the same spice Wikipedia volunteers used to create a
top one hundred website worldwide. We will find that Ward has used the same
spice more than once with similar results. The spice is human creativity.
Ward will compare the accommodations he made for creativity in Wiki Wiki Web
to similar accommodations in Extreme Programming. The lessons from this work
will be condensed into a simple principle that can be applied to any
process, computerized or otherwise.
