The site, in 2005
The English Wikipedia's online newspaper, written by volunteer editors about the Wikimedia community, rulings and foundation news.
The lawyer Michael Snow founded it in January 2005, and later chaired the Wikimedia Foundation's board. Its name came from editors signing their talk-page posts. Researchers have studied it.
In 2005: First published in January as The Wikipedia Signpost. Snow stepped down as editor in August.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
