====== Happy Birthday, DokuWiki! ======

{{ :blog:media:20080626-dw_birthday.jpg?200|}}
Today marks the [[http://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2008-06/26-dokuwiki_birthday_cake_post|fourth birthday]] of my favourite wiki engine, [[doku>wiki:dokuwiki|DokuWiki]], so I'd like to take advantage of the moment and say a big thank you to [[http://www.splitbrain.org|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 [[snippets:dokuwiki:keyboard|my first plugin]] for it. Since then I've been involved in some more plugins((as you might have guessed from the Quicklinks section to the right and the one or other DokuWiki centric blogpost over the last years ;-))), 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 cake((which is a wonderful penguiny and CC-licensed picture of a sugar bomb I found at [[http://flickr.com/photos/foamcow/74408514/|flickr]] and which was kindly provided by [[http://flickr.com/photos/foamcow/|foamcow]])) and hoping for many more exciting years to come, with the [[http://foosel.org/blog/2008/06/dokuwiki_hackathon_froscon_2008|first reallife meeting]] just around the corner :-)
