By the way, the WikiWikiWeb was created for "The Portland Pattern Repository" (by Ward Cunningham). This is a reference to Christopher Alexander's "A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction". According to Alexander, “towns and buildings will not be able to come alive, unless they are made by all the people in society”. The general idea is that a successful environment depends upon an ability to combine physical and social relationships. The pattern language creates such combinations: it is a lively language, not exclusive to architects, that responds to the needs and desires of the people and thus connects architecture to people.
