Sensei's Library

Last updated

Sensei's Library (commonly referred to as SL among Go-players) is an Internet website and wiki, dedicated to articles about, and discussion of, the game of Go. It was started in September 2000, by the Go players Morten Pahle and Arno Hollosi. [1] Hollosi is also known for designing version 4 of Anders Kierulf's popular SGF file format and for his work with the Austrian Citizen Card project. [2] [3]

Sensei's Library is used for a number of purposes, and contains over 26,000 pages [4] on a wide range of topics, such as the culture and history of Go, Go theory, strategy, and community information. It is highly regarded in the Go community. [5] [6] [7] [8] One reviewer noted that as "a collaborative resource written by contributors, Sensei's Library may be the most extensive Go resource on the web. Articles cover a variety of topics, including possibly the best discussion of endgame theory published anywhere." [5] Among its contributors are some published Go authors, such as Charles Matthews and John Fairbairn. [9] [10]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">History of wikis</span> History of wiki collaborative platforms

The wiki went public in March 1995, the date used in anniversary celebrations of the wiki's origins. c2.com is thus the first true wiki, or a website with pages and links that can be easily edited via the browser, with a reliable version history for each page. He chose "WikiWikiWeb" as the name based on his memories of the "Wiki Wiki Shuttle" at Honolulu International Airport, and because "wiki" is the Hawaiian word for "quick".
