<h2>WikiWikiWeb</h2>
<time class="date" datetime="1995-03-25T12:00:00Z"
>25 March, 1995</time

<p>
Programmer Ward Cunningham launches WikiWikiWeb on 25 March
1995. In Hawaiian, "wiki" means "quick". Cunningham's
idea was to make WikiWikiWeb's pages quickly editable by its
users.

<h2>Open Content Project</h2>
<time class="date" datetime="1998-07-14T12:00:00Z"
>14 July, 1998</time
>
<p>
On July 14, 1998, the Open Content Project published the Open
Content License, which was among the first public copyright
licenses intended for content (i.e. documents) rather than for
software.
</p>
<p>
The following year, on June 8, 1999, it published the Open
Publication License, which was intended to be an improvement upon
the Open Content License. The two licenses differ
substantially: the Open Publication License is not a share-alike
license while the Open Content License is; and the Open
Publication License can optionally restrict the distribution of
derivative works or restrict the commercial distribution of paper
copies of the work or derivatives of the work, whereas the Open
Content License forbids copying for profit altogether. The authors
were Eric S. Raymond, David A. Wiley, and Tim O'Reilly.

<h2>Sonny Bono Act</h2>
<time class="date" datetime="1998-10-27T12:00:00Z"
>27 October, 1998</time
>
In 1998, the United States Congress passed the Sonny Bono Copyright
Term Extension Act, which extended copyright protections for twenty
additional years, resulting in a total guaranteed copyright term of
seventy years after a creator's death. The bill was heavily lobbied
by music and film corporations like Disney, and dubbed as the Mickey

<p>
Internet publisher Eric Eldred, represented by Lawrence Lessig and
a team at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, challenged
the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act initially in 1999
(Eldred v. Reno).

<p>
On January 15, 2003 the Supreme Court announced its decision in a
7-2 ruling: the act was held to be constitutional, thus preventing
a number of works from entering the public domain in 1998 and
following years.

<p>
In March 9, 2000, the Nupedia project was started. Its intention
was to publish articles written by experts which would be licensed
as free content. Nupedia was founded by Jimmy Wales, with Larry
Sanger as editor-in-chief, and funded by the web-advertising
company Bomis. Wales is credited with defining the goal of making
a publicly editable encyclopedia, while Sanger is credited with
the strategy of using a wiki to reach that goal.

<p>
In January 2001, Wikipedia began as a side-project of Nupedia, to
allow collaboration on articles prior to entering the peer-review
process. The name was suggested by Sanger on 11 January 2001 as a
portmanteau of the words wiki (Hawaiian for "quick") and
encyclopedia. The wikipedia.com and wikipedia.org domain names
were registered on 12 and 13 January, respectively, with
wikipedia.org being brought online on the same day. The
project formally opened on 15 January ("Wikipedia Day"), with the
first international Wikipedias – the French, German, Catalan,
Swedish, and Italian editions – being created between March and
May.

<h2>Wikivoyage</h2>
<time class="date" datetime="2003-07-01T12:00:00Z"

<p>
Wikitravel is a collaborative travel guide started in July 2003 by
Evan Prodromou and Michele Ann Jenkins, partly inspired by
Wikipedia.
</p>
<p>
In 2006, Internet Brands bought the trademark and servers and
later introduced advertising to the website. This move met
opposition from users, with many German and Italian editors
leaving in December 2006 for a newly established wiki, Wikivoyage.
</p>
<p>
In 2012, in response to sustained dissatisfaction with Internet
Brands' commercialization and technical support, a large portion
of the editing community, including the founders, left and
transferred their contributions to the Wikivoyage travel guide,
which was relaunched as a Wikimedia Foundation–hosted project in
January 2013.

Wikimedia Commons is an online repository of free-use images,
sounds, and other media. The project was proposed by Erik Möller
in March 2004 and launched on September 7, 2004. A key motivation
behind the setup of a central repository was the desire to reduce
duplication of effort across the Wikimedia projects and languages,
as the same file had to be uploaded to many different wikis
separately before Commons was created. Files from Wikimedia
Commons can be used across all Wikimedia projects in all
languages, including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikivoyage,
Wikispecies, Wikisource, and Wikinews.
