Talk:Grapevine Managers

I thought it was re-branded inform before 2005? I _thought_ the grapevine name was gone before I arrived in 2003... am I wrong? Rowan 15:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Err... we used the name Inform for the PHP-based system that Kevin Bowman wrote, which replaced the earlier Windows 3.1-on-a-386 software sometime in 2003, I think. MichaelP-J 16:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, would the stuff about the introduction be better on the grapevine page, rather than the grapevine managers page? Rowan 15:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

-Yes. Good idea! --Benet Allen 18:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

It was decided to start referring to Grapevine as Inform at the start of 2003/4 - regardless of the origin of the name it was just felt to be a better representation of what the service was, and no-one seemed to object (not that there were many people around then to object) so it stuck. There's definitely room for a piece somewhere on how the system changed over the years, but in terms of the point we changed from "Grapevine" to "Inform" it was simply changing the way we referred to it rather than anything else operationally.
