 :Lars, brief history of WikiIndex:
-:WikiIndex.com was created by [[Raymond King|Ray King]] and [[John Stanton]] in June [[:Category:FoundedIn2005|2005]] as a way to track the wiki sites they thought had value for them. At the [[WikiSym]] conference in San Diego in October 2005 Ray and John joined forces with [[Mark Dilley]] who had a much more comprehensive wiki list called [[SwitchWiki]] and took the decision to join the two efforts together. The resulting wiki was to be more comprehensive and take full advantage of wiki technology. John converted and expanded the data from both sites and built out the original set of 1000 wikis in January of 2006. Throughout 2006 a community formed around WikiIndex and greatly expanded the number of wikis and improved the original format. By November 2006 the article count was at 3,195 and WikiIndex had become the authoritative source for information about Wiki sites.
