 ====== Where does IBPP come from? ======
-IBPP comes from ''IInterface'', an internal proprietary and experimental project of [[http://www.tipgroup.com|T.I.P. Group S.A.]] back in 1999 (that's in Belgium, Europe). In august 2000, ''IInterface'' was re-worked and got released. The motivation was to allow further collaborative open-source, open-minded development of the class library and port it to Linux too. Yes, the primary and original development environment was Win32.

-====== Why has this site been moved away from www.editthis.info? ======
-For some weeks this new wiki documentation site has been hosted on the free service http://www.editthis.info. Why isn't this the case anymore?
-http://www.editthis.info is a very good free MediaWiki hosting provider. We thank them sincerely for the short time we spent there. Their sysops have been helpful and very kind, answering quickly our support requests and showing a real motivation in helping. We can recommend this hosting provider for wikis to be hosted on the MediaWiki software.
-Though, seeing how easy it was for us to host the wiki by ourselves, on equipment and lines we already had anyway, using a wiki software closer to our needs and not loaded with capabilities we would never make use of, we chose to re-implement everything using DokuWiki on our servers. Those are the servers which until january 2006 had hosted our previous web site version for 6 years without any issues. We have to admit that the IBPP Team being made of programmers, the minor challenge of setting up and running the wiki all by ourselves was also appealing. It was a non negligible part of our decision to move.
