InterWiki refers to ways to link wikis other. The steps in the development of

*[[SisterSites]] (2000-2001), the implementation of InterWiki on [[WikiWikiWeb]]
*[[MetaWiki]], the idea of a wiki that helps people find other wikis
*[[TourBus]] project (summer 2002)
*[[OneBigWiki]] (2002), the idea of having one wiki distributed across several servers
*[[SwitchWiki]] (2003), the idea of having one site where one can switch between wikis
*[[WikiIndex]], an actual wiki listing other wikis, thereby implementing the MetaWiki and SwitchWiki ideas 
*[[WikiNode]], another way to implement InterWiki
*[[OneBigSoup]], the idea of links between wikis and all other communications software

The MeatballWiki article on [http://usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?WikiIndex WikiIndex] explains InterWiki as follows:

:Although wikis have had the concept of InterWiki links for a long time, the InterMaps remain small, and wikis remain disconnected. Here at [[MeatballWiki]] we currently have a policy of limiting the list of entries to those we actually use. [[WardsWiki]] uses a special way to link to wikis, called [[SisterSites]]. The [[TourBus]] Project here at MeatBall and the [[WikiNode]] (to show others what wiki are in a paticular wikis neighborhood) system are other ways to link communities and show people other wikis.
