每日一詞 ：Wiki |你可能不知道的“維基”解密

朱利安·阿桑奇於上週被捕 ，使他創立的維基解密再次成為新聞焦點。

維基解密(Wikileaks)是一個獲取和發布敏感材料的網站，旨在保護舉報人、記者和活動家。作為一個反保密網站，以leaks（洩露）來命名不難理解，但wiki（維基）又是什麼意思？為什麼由用戶協作、創造和共享資源的維基百科(Wikipedia)也使用了wiki一詞？

Wiki一詞來自夏威夷語，原意為“快速”。現在多指一套由用戶社群協作開發的網站或數據庫，允許任何用戶添加和編輯內容。 Wiki也可用作動詞，用來表示在wiki上研究一個主題，或為一個主題做貢獻。此外，雖然維基解密和維基百科的英文名稱中都有“wiki”這個詞，但二者並無關聯。
