In a 20-minute (MP3 audio) interview, Ward Cunningham of the Eclipse Foundation and the father of wiki, discusses social software and global collaboration. He advocates extreme programming and agile development and believes Eclipse is mastering in a big way what wiki mastered in a small way. The audio program is available at: http://www.sqlsummit.com/People/WCunningham.htm ============================================= From the article: "Ward is a well-known figure in the software development community, in part because of the wiki and design patterns collectively known as "Extreme Programming" or "XP." In the interview, he discusses his interest in social software and how self-organizing open source projects can achieve success using agile techniques. He noted the combination of social software and open source is what brought him to the Eclipse Foundation, where he is Director of Committer Community Development."
