Originated as a prototype/experiment by Avi Bryant in 2001.

I liked what I saw. It was completely unsuited for production use, though.

Avi had moved on and more or less abandoned the code by this time in 2002.

and then decided I would use Ruby and IOWA to deliver an application for a customer.

It was successful. The site ran for 2.25 years:

using it.

Development over the last almost-five-years has been driven by customer needs and user community requests.

~75 dynamic websites/applications running or in process, personally + numerous apps deployed by the small user community.
