Chris Whitten designed WikiAnswers. It was originally created as "FAQ Farm: the question and answer co-op" in 2002. The system was completely changed in 2004 when we customized a version of Wikipedia's Mediawiki software. In 2006 the site was renamed WikiAnswers and became part of Answers.com. It has never stopped evolving and improving.
