Ward Cunningham (HSE)

Ward Cunningham is a Cascadian programmer, and chief designer of the Wiki concept of Internet sites.

Cunningham, using his website WikiWikiWeb, promoted the concept of Wikis during the 1990s. However, Cunningham's creation became more famous than he did; the two influential encyclopedias of the Fourth World War were wikis: the Proletarian Encyclopedia and Wikipedia.

After the Soviet invasion of Cascadia, Cunningham fled to the Midwestern Federal Republic to escape financial ruin by the war.
