To Microsoft's roster of employees, add the inventor of the wiki. A wiki? Unless you're heavily into the Internet, chances are you're wondering what the heck that is.
The wiki concept was created by Ward Cunningham, who joined Microsoft last month after working as a consultant to the company. Cunningham set out in 1995 to create a unique online site for people involved in technical aspects of a type of software development known as object-oriented programming.
