c2.com ("Pattern Portland Repository's Wiki" or "WikiWikiWeb") is the original Wiki and where the term "Wiki" originates. It's been running since 1995.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb

Have some respect!

It's working today; what makes you so sure it was code?

Nothing new was pushed to the public github repo yet. Last commit was a fix of misspelled "remodeling" in index.html, on Feb 20.
