January will be 15 years since 2009, not 25, but I don't have other 
plans for 2033 so I suspect you are right albeit early. ;-)

PmWiki version 0.1 can be downloaded here:

The earliest file in this archive, the logo you linked, is from 18 
August 2001, but the latest one, pmwiki.php, is dated 8 January 2002.

Pm and I used to joke that PmWiki was conceived in August 2001 but 
gestated until it was born in January 2002. :-)

Thank you Pm for this amazing software and philosophy.

In a few days PmWiki will be 21, if it were a person we would be able to 
have a drink with her, even in the USA.
