We started seedwiki in late 2001. It grew out of our interest in extreme programming and lean web practices. For several years it was a free site. Eventually we introduced paid accounts for content privacy and advanced features.

seedwiki is a wiki, a site where everyone is a contributor. It also an environment that can be easily adapted and customized to create almost any kind of website a group of people might need, and the people who are going to use the site can design it and build it themselves. This is how seedwiki itself changes. The people who are using it find new things they want to do and we make the changes that make it possible to do those things.

seedwiki is owned and operated by 8th Fold, a consulting company. As well as adapting seedwiki to be a useful site on the web we help companies and organizations build their own useful applications on the web. We use seedwiki as a platform so that the people who need the application can do most of the work of designing and building it themselves, and so that when their application needs to change they know how to change it. Our experience running seedwiki as a public site helps us offer our consulting clients an ever more powerful and useable environment. Our work with out consulting clients help us to extend and deepen the things that it is possible to do on seedwiki.
