The authors have written this book with an almost mystical sense of wonderment at the achievements and ideals embodied in the Wiki concept, a web site where anyone can edit anything. ... The attached CD allows you to install a Wiki on most Os’s, even Windows, and then you too will be able to keep the flame burning for those early ideals of the WWW: empowerment, learning and collaboration.}}

It was the first major book published about using wikis.{{Citation needed|date=July 2021}} Cunningham invented wikis when he wrote WikiWikiWeb, the first wiki website software.{{Citation needed|date=July 2021}}
