Reception
[edit]Eugene Eric Kim wrote in Web Techniques that "Leuf and Cunningham do a good job of explaining what a Wiki is" and said "The Wiki Way is about the way we work, and that makes it a worthwhile read."[3] David Mattison of Searcher tried the book's QuickiWiki script.[4] Simon Worthington stated, "The Wiki Way book is a manifesto and a software manual in one, with the essentials for Wiki installation attached on CD."[2]

The review notes: The Wiki Way book is a manifesto and a software manual in one, with the essentials for Wiki installation attached on CD. The authors have written this book with an almost mystical sense of wonderment at the achievements and ideals embodied in the Wiki concept, a web site where anyone can edit anything. ... The attached CD allows you to install a Wiki on most Os's, even Windows, and then you too will be able to keep the flame burning for those early ideals of the WWW: empowerment, learning and collaboration.
