On September 17, 1987, programmer 's architectural concept of "patterns", for the 1987 OOPSLA programming conference organized by the Association For Computing Machinery . Cunningham's and Beck's idea became popular among programmers, because it helped them exchange programming ideas in a format that is easy to understand. Cunningham & Cunningham, the programming consultancy which would eventually host the PPR on its Internet domain, was incorporated in Salem, Oregon on November 1, 1991, and is named after Ward and his wife Karen R. Cunningham, a mathematician, school teacher and school director. Cunningham & Cunningham registered their Internet domain c2.com on October 23, 1994. On c2.com, Ward created the Portland Pattern Repository as a means to help Object-oriented Programmers publish their computer programming patterns by submitting them to him. Some of those programmers attended the OOPSLA and PLoP conferences about object-oriented programming, and posted their ideas on the PPR and exchanged e-mail messages with Ward. The PPR is accompanied on c2.com by the first ever Wiki (a collection of reader-modifiable Web pages), which is called '' WikiWikiWeb '', or simply '''''WikiWiki''''' or '''''Wiki''''' (with a capital 'W'), and which is located at http://c2.com/cgi/wiki.
