چکیده
In 1995, Ward Cunningham wanted to enable programmers to discuss and collaboratively document design patterns on his website, Portland Pattern Repository. To this end, he created a new kind of server software that allowed any page to be freely edited by any user. He called his new creation a wiki.1 Inspired by this first wiki, a number of other wikis have sprang up, the best known of which is Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia. In projects like Wikipedia, large groups of people have been able to collaborate with an effectiveness that was previously impossible.

متن کاملNonfactualism about Epistemic Modality
When I tell you that it’s raining, I describe a way the world is—viz., rainy. I say something factual, something whose truth turns on how things are with some aspect of the world.
