The site, in 1999

Wiki software written in Perl that stores pages as ordinary files rather than in a database.

Wikipedia ran on it from January 2001, and by January 2002 it powered Wikipedias in 22 languages, before the move to MediaWiki's forerunner. Its developer, Clifford Adams, was also a Wikipedian.

In 1999: Adams began it on 11 October as a simplified fork of AtisWiki, and version 0.4 followed in November.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
