'''Wiki engine evolution tree''' — the | '''Wiki engine evolution tree''' — the {{Cambridge-Dictionary|evolution}} tree in this [[article]] below shows roughly how various {{tag|wiki engine}} (wiki software) developments are (or were) related and inter-related. For a full list of wiki engines we have indexed here on [[WikiIndex]], see [[:category: Wiki engine]]. | ||
The evolution tree is a | The evolution tree is a {{Cambridge-Dictionary|subjective}} approach to a {{Cambridge-Dictionary|classification}} of wiki engines according to their [[:Category:Wiki age|origins]]; where the original [[Developer|programmer]] (or [[founder]]) of the wiki engine got the idea of {{Cambridge-Dictionary|derive|deriving}} (or [[fork]]ing) a new wiki engine from an existing wiki engine. Specifically: this is supposed to be a tree of the evolution of <u>wiki engines</u> (''not'' {{tag|wiki}} forums or [[Wiki|wiki sites]]; just wiki engines only). It is supposed to show where a wiki engine was derived from. Of course, this ''can'' be very subjective, and be subject to {{Cambridge-Dictionary|interpretation}} and {{Cambridge-Dictionary|opinion}}. Nevertheless, it is hoped this page will provide food for thought on the history of wiki software. | ||
