Explanation of the term ting as used for the ting-wiki.
Tings have been the councils of the old germanians and vikings.

Tings were held in the open and on daytimes. The name of the German parliament "Bundestag" (Tag = day) relates to tings. Several scandinavian parliaments are still called tings - storting (no), folketing (dk).
