Changes Since Wiki Fell Off The Scope

Last time I was out in the world was June 2005. Now it's October 2007 and GoogleLovesWiki again. I wonder what all happened while I was away? --WikiWikiWeb

Lessee ... you missed out on

• HurricaneKatrina?
• RubyOnRailsRulesTheUniverse (but, thankfully, doesn't rule WardsWiki!)
• WardCunninghamLeavingMicrosoft and then WardLeavingEclipseForAboutUs
• The untimely demise of Pete's LimpinwoodTeahouse
• Wiki has become a OnePileFilingSystem with pages hovering at about 32500 or so.
• The war of bots over preserving/disregarding spelling and syntax errors, -- or -, comma or semicolon, etc. has continued without letup, making it much more difficult to see what is going on in RecentChanges.
  • I don't know about "without letup" - been some signal on RC the last couple days. You don't suppose?
• Many people who have interest in building, interaction and dialogue have gravitated elsewhere. Might come back if this place starts working again ...
• TheCppStandardsCommittee are at work on CeePlusPlusZeroEx (now CeePlusPlusEleven)
• Other important events?

You could take a look at the backlinks of the ImplicitTopics for more?

This is a page about stuff that wiki didn't think about because of being (a) lobotomized by RC spam and (b) deserted due to google-invisibility. Wiki knows precious little about June 2005 - September 2007. It's like it had a long lost weekend or something.
