From Steal This Wiki
June 30, 2006 - Soft launch: Friends, participants at frequented discussion forums are invited to the wiki for a first look, to sign up and begin participating.
July 4, 2006 - Independence Day in America! Accompanied by the Grand Opening of Steal This Wiki: Steal This Book Part II. The internet community is invited to participate in the ground-breaking update of Abbie Hoffman's seminal book, "Steal This Book". All visitors are encouraged to sign up and start collaborating on this project.
July 5, 2006 - After a wonderful post on BoingBoing, we experienced a great deal of traffic. Too much for our host's servers to bear, so we have been kindly and swiftly moved to a new server at the same host, and we're back up and running smoothly. I just want to thank these first important users who have already spent a great deal of time going through the site and correcting typos and adding links. I can tell this is going to be a great, collaborative work.
August 8, 2006 - The whole site has been updated so we have original text displayed below new text additions. This should make it easier to update. We've also created a Fuck This City Template to make it easier to add cities to our list. The new Introduction has been written. Doctormatt was added as an admin, and his very generous dedication of time and effort is appreciated. We should begin rolling the site out to even MORE AND MORE forums/lists/blogs/groups for more content.
March 22, 2007 - The wiki has been moved to a new clustered host, and we've added forums.
