How it started back in 2013 - attempt to recollect
Back to General discussions forum
According to suggestion by our colleague kostis_k, I tried to start "some memoir" about how the project started.
It feels a good time as we got over our 9th birthday during these days. However what I was able to produce by now
seems like a first half, or first part. Not sure the second is necessary though still it would surely cover the
time when site was already running and features being added to it by and by. And given the amount of text it already
looks somewhat dull. Perhaps some brief video could be nicer...
Anyway you are welcome to peek at this reminiscence.
Hopefully you are all fine, Friends - thanks for being with us all that time. Especially it is awesome to think of those who have patience to visit us sometimes during almost all period of site's existence, like Grae, Serge and laurentypetit.
I have found the half-working very earliest version deployed at sourceforge, along with relevant code - and referenced them in the article for curiousity!
Thanks for taking the time for this write up. It's always interesting (to me at least) to know about the journey of an idea from conception to materialization, which is hardly ever a straight line, the motivation behind it and the circumstances that led to the final "thing". Highly appreciate it!
