Well, partly because I'm sure some people will find +this a pretty Iky Wiki, since it's so different from other Wikis. Partly +because "ikiwiki" is a nice palindrome. Partly because its design turns +the usual design for a Wiki inside-out and backwards. + +(BTW, I'm told that "iki" is Finnish for "forever" so ikiwiki is "forever +wiki". It's also nice to note that ikiwiki contains a kiwi.) + +Oh, maybe you wanted to know why you'd want to choose ikiwiki instead of +all the other wikis out there?
