Slightly OT, but I've seen a lot of confusion between the terms "wiki"
and "Wikipedia" due to our high profile; people will call a wiki a
"Wikipedia", people will call Wikipedia "wiki" and people will call
articles "wikis", too.
There's also the added confusion of what is "the Wiki" - is it
Wikipedia, the Portland Pattern Repository (IIRC the "original" wiki),
or Meatball?
