Best Answer

Chris Whitten originally started this site in 2002 as "FAQ Farm: the question and answer co-op." The basic idea was the same as it is now: questions and answers are organically grown and through user interaction. The Q&A improves over time and the most popular questions in each category, the FAQs, float to the top. In 2004 we adapted Wikipedia's Mediawiki software for FAQ Farm. At that point we sometimes called the site "WikiFAQs" or "the wiki answers community" but kept the official name as FAQ Farm. In 2006 Chris sold the site to Answers.com. During a redesign at the start of 2007 Chris and the Answers.com folks officially changed the name to WikiAnswers.
