Happy Birthday, DokuWiki!

Today marks the fourth birthday of my favourite wiki engine, DokuWiki, so I'd like to take advantage of the moment and say a big thank you to Andi and all the countless DokuWiki contributors who made it such a great piece of software to work with.

I stumbled across DokuWiki in early 2005 I think, and it must have been around that time when I made a first install of it on my localhost as well. I can't remember the exact date when I started using it as a public viewable wiki anymore, but it must have been somewhere around fall of 2005, when I released my first plugin for it. Since then I've been involved in some more plugins1), and I even had the honor to contribute some tiny bugfixes to the core code over the last half year :-)

So let me participate in celebrating this birthday by contributing a virtual cake2) and hoping for many more exciting years to come, with the first reallife meeting just around the corner :-)

1) as you might have guessed from the Quicklinks section to the right and the one or other DokuWiki centric blogpost over the last years ;-)

You forgot to show me that coffee-cup which will never see any coffee… And remember, if your mother ever wants you to come to work with here, I'll give you one hint: “Bring-your-daughter-to-work day”

Best game ever!
