I remember reading Jeremy's own account, but I can't remember where. I have, however followed it pretty much from the start, and I guess it's safe to say that the release 1.x versions, that Jeremy published in 2004, were very experimental. It was sort-of a write-only web page in that you could add content and the browser would hold it and present an index, let you add hyperlinks, etc - but you couldn't actually save anything permanently. Nevertheless, many people immediately recognized it's potential. Release 2.0, which came in late 2005, was a big step forward, with an architecture that was designed for extensibility, allowing for the vast range of plugins, derivatives and applications.
