====JuggleWiki History====

JuggleWiki was originally developed by [[Scott Dossey]] and launched on '''July 13, 2001'''.  Scott based the site on [http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net phpWiki] 1.2.0, which he extended to allow [[JuggleAnim]] animations to be embedded in wiki pages.  JuggleWiki at that time was part of the popular [[IJDb]] site developed by [[Colin Eberhardt]] and others.

In '''April 2004''', JuggleWiki's juggling animator and other phpWiki software were upgraded by [[Jack Boyce]].  The JuggleAnim software was replaced by [[Juggling Lab]], which is more flexible.  For example, Juggling Lab can animate arbitrary hand movements, as well as multiple jugglers for passing patterns.  An earlier version of Juggling Lab remains in use at JuggleWiki.  The version you can download for use offline is more advanced, and the version used online at sourceforge is far more advanced in what code it will animate.

In '''early 2008''', the original website was closed by IJDb due to security vulnerabilities, as well as spam, lack of use, and general disrepair.  A movement started to resurrect the site, and at the same time update and improve it.  

JuggleWiki was migrated to the MediaWiki platform in May, 2008, and relaunched here in '''June 2008''', with other redesigning by Jack Boyce.
