SeedWiki, launched October 2001, can best be described by its founder, Ken Tyler, as explained at embrace change
The phrase 'embrace change' comes from Extreme Programming principles, practices and methods.
Working on SeedWiki has revealed certain principles that we have come to accept.
- the computer screen should be as much as possible the contributor's space rather than the hosting company's space
- our job as hosts is to remove any unnecessary features more than it is to add new features
- there is no 'typical' use for a wiki, or any set of 'typical' users; wikis are so flexible that they and their contributors cannot be grouped together into any one set of ideas about what is, or might be, going on
- its best to start with as little structure as possible, and only add more structure when it proves to be needed
- even when you try, you often put too much structure in at the start of a project, and can profit by removing some of it later
