AgoraCart.com's 5 year Anniversary
Feb 2, 2006, 2:38 PM
Today marks the 5th year AgoraCart.com has been online.
Originally the site was rolled out as the only authorized tech support site for the Agora.cgi Shopping Cart project. After the original domain name (agoracgi.com) for the project was hijacked for domain aftermarket speculation by Network Solutions, AgoraCart.com became the new online home for the project in 2002. The project was subsequently renamed from Agora.cgi to AgoraCart shortly thereafter.
Since becoming home to the AgoraCart Shopping Cart project, which is Open Source Software written in the PERL programming language, AgoraCart.com has seen dramatic growth in unique visitors, now topping 928,000 as of today. Though these metrics are small compared to some sites, it was never imagined that the site would become so popular, let alone that the shopping cart would become a popular ecommerce mainstay worldwide.
All of us involved in the project, from keeper of the code to the many volunteers working the various user forums would like to thank all those that have supported the project financially and with time contributions as well as for supporting the service providers that promote and use AgoraCart. Thank you for helping AgoraCart become a success.
