History
Piwigo was originally written by Pierrick Le Gall as a personal project during fall 2001. Inspired by the opensource
web forum phpBB that he installed for his university website, he chooses the GPL license to distribute Piwigo and
start a community around the project. On spring 2002, the first version of Piwigo was released [3]
In 2002, Piwigo became multilingual. In 2004, a bugtracker was installed in order to work in team. In 2005 an online
extension manager [4] made contributions easier to share. In 2006, themes made customization possible. In 2007,
plugins are introduced to extend Piwigo features. In 2009, PhpWebGallery was renammed Piwigo, pLoader (Piwigo
Uploader) makes photo upload easier for Windows, Mac and Linux users. In 2010, digiKam is able to upload photos
to any Piwigo gallery and Piwigo gets an enhanced web uploader.
In 2010, 20 members in Piwigo team, 30 translators, a website available in 10 languages and a thriving community.
