That makes sense in regards to the Wikipedia, and Wikileaks. When I researched it, I found, “Wiki” to simply be an acronym meaning, “what I know is”.

A cooperative is a hui, so is a group purchase, as is a potluck, carpool, etc., etc. If your cats gang up on you and demand food together, same kine ting, one hui. Nice to see you writing with regularity. Stay well. Evan, wiki might morph into a word meaning collaborative effort, but in Hawaii, the word for all sorts of collaborative efforts is “hui”.
