Cormac noted that Cunningham had actually mentioned index cards in his Wikimania 2005 presentation, which I was not able to attend. Fortunately, I was able to find a copy of the video and my rough notes on it are available (<a href="http://reagle.org/joseph/2007/08/cunningham-wikimania-2005-wiki-history.html">Cunningham 2005</a>).</p>
