The original purpose of WikiWikiWeb was to document {{tag|programming}} patterns, especially for members of [[Archive.org:19971222015343/http://st-www.CS.UIUC.edu/users/johnson/|Ralph Johnson's]] patterns mailing list, and for people who attended the Patterns Languages of Programs Conference (PLoP) and the Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications (OOPSLA). From 1996 to 1998, discussion of {{Wp|extreme programming}} (XP) became more popular, and the first members of WikiWikiWeb, who preferred to discuss patterns, started emigrating. Some of them later complained about [[Wiki:MissingWikiBeforeXp|missing Wiki before XP]]. | The original purpose of WikiWikiWeb was to document {{tag|programming}} patterns, especially for members of [[Archive.org:19971222015343/http://st-www.CS.UIUC.edu/users/johnson/|Ralph Johnson's]] patterns mailing list, and for people who attended the Patterns Languages of Programs Conference (PLoP) and the Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications (OOPSLA).

Some former regular [[user]]s of WikiWikiWeb complained that the discussion on WikiWikiWeb deteriorated since about [[:Category:Founded in 1999|1999]] or [[:Category:Founded in 2000|2000]], describing that deterioration as the [[Wiki:HeatDeathOfWiki|heat death of Wiki]]. Later activity focused more on '[[Wiki:ThreadMode|thread mode]]' debates and social banter around programming topics, plus curation of the early content, than the '[[Wiki:DocumentMode|document mode]' creation of summary pages that characterised its early Patterns and XP years. | Some former regular [[user]]s of WikiWikiWeb complained that the discussion on WikiWikiWeb deteriorated since about [[:Category:Founded in 1999|1999]] or [[:Category:Founded in 2000|2000]], describing that deterioration as the [[Wiki:HeatDeathOfWiki|heat death of Wiki]].
