Oh, one imagines there's a huuuuge flamewar on the discussion page about that. Did Galactipedia originate on Salusia in 2000 or Earth in 2001? The format of the 25th-century site - indeed, the whole Galactic Standard approach to the Worlds-Wide Web - owes much more to Earth's technology base than Salusia's, but it is a fact that the organization that operates Galactipedia started with a Salusian Datasphere site in 2000 and only absorbed the Earth site during the Standardization of the United Galactica seven years later, when the Datasphere became part of the Internet. Which is more about the history of information technology in the post-Contact era than anyone other than people who get into flamewars on Galactipedia discussion pages care about, but there it is. :) --G. -><- Benjamin D.
