History of the UGWiki
From GSLISWiki
The unofficial GSLIS Wiki was started by Cameron Jones who downloaded and installed MediaWiki software on a private server, and purchased the domain, www.gslis.org for five years.
[edit] People Outside GSLIS Know the UGWiki Exists!!!
On Thursday, March 17, 2005 (or thereabouts), the UGWiki was mentioned in a presentation given by Will Richardson from Weblogg-ed ( http://www.weblogg-ed.com/ ) given at the Computers In Libraries 2005 conference ( http://www.infotoday.com/cil2005/ ).

His own reflections on the presentation don't mention us:
One of our alumns was there. He mentioned that Will Richardson thought we were official, and that he was surprised to find out that we weren't:
"I was at Computers in Libraries this past week. There was a presentation by Will Richardson on wikis and he showed the GSLIS wiki as an example! I had to tell him after his presentation that it wasn't affiliated with the school. At first he seemed disappointed and that he should pull it from future presentations, but I pointed out that it was a great example of collaborative work generated by students and he seemed pleased with that. So he'll keep it in future presentations."
