Summary: It has now been ten whole years of non-stop chat, all of which logged and published fully in the interests of transparency

THE summer of 2008 saw the arrival of the IRC channels, 2 years after the site had begun preparing/writing/publishing articles. Today I glanced at logs from the first day (when readers and contributors started chatting in real time). Microsoft and OOXML were still a hot topic at the time. Those were the days...

5 gigabytes of text later and we're still at it.

Nowadays we are increasingly focused on topics like the EPO and USPTO, seeing that progress is gradually being made. I occasionally hear from readers who have been following us since the very beginning 12 years ago. Thanks for the loyalty. ⬆
