| + | Clifford Adams started developing the wiki engine [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UseModWiki UseModWiki] in 1999 for his Usenet Moderation (Usemod) Project. Adams used the Perl programming language and took the code from AtisWiki, which was based on CvWiki, in turn based on Wiki Base, the wiki engine of the WikiWikiWeb. Pages in UseModWiki are stored in ordinary files, not in a relational database. | ||

| + | The first wiki to use UseModWiki was Clifford Adams's own usemod.com site. The second was MeatballWiki, created by Adams and Sunir Shah and dedicated to online communities. MeatballWiki was installed on the same usemod.com website in 2000. For most of 2001, UseModWiki was used to run all versions of Wikipedia. WikiWikiWeb's sister wiki the Adjunct, started in 2005, also runs on UseModWiki. UseModWiki is probably the most popular wiki software due to the relatively little computing power required and its ease of installation. | ||
