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 :-)
