Wiki goes to Oxford (Englsh Dictionary that is)

CNET reports:

This word born on the Pacific Island of Hawaii finally got an entry into the latest edition of the online Oxford English Dictionary (OED) along with 287 other new words.

More than a decade after Ward Cunningham created the first wiki, this short, catchy Hawaiian word is finally being recognized for its major cultural and technological impact. A good example of that impact: back in college, I had no idea that someday I’d be a Wiki Evangelist!
