The retrospective is to commemorate the fourth Wikipedia Day, as well as the history of the project; so memories from Wikipedia days past, or from other anniversaries, are also welcome. Newbies, your memories count too; just not in the section marked "only old-timers can edit"...
Mmm, and screenshots of Wikipedia /or other projects/ over time, on key days, would also be neat :-) Especially if you remember a discussion surrounding a design change. There is a "historical pages" section on Meta that might be helpful, and the archive.org image of "wikipedia.com" from 2001/2002.
There's a whole historical mirror of Wikipedia (though it's not really a wiki any more since it's completely frozen): http://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePage from December 20 http://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_20, 2001, when we were proudly proclaiming over 19,000 articles. How many days does it take us to add 19,000 articles now? :)
