Wiki Founders refers to the individuals who established the concept of collaborative online platforms, allowing users to create and edit content collectively. The most notable among them is Jimmy Wales, who co-founded Wikipedia in 2001 alongside Larry Sanger. Their vision was to create a free, accessible encyclopedia that anyone could contribute to, revolutionizing how information is shared. The term also encompasses the broader movement of wikis, which began with the creation of the first wiki, WikiWikiWeb, by Ward Cunningham in 1995. This innovative approach to content creation emphasized community involvement and open editing, laying the groundwork for numerous other wikis and collaborative projects.
