If you want to know the exact date, look at the link you're suggesting is wrong.

You mean the one where an existing project with several years of history has its development tree imported into github as its first commit? I remember the memcached project being announced, and I'm pretty sure it predated github by five years or more.

I have no idea what link you clicked on. The one above says this:

    committing memcached 

    bradfitz (author)
    May 27, 2003
Specifically, that was Tue May 27 07:19:11 2003 +0000.

I spent a long night back in 2008 recreating that history as accurately as possible. It involved a couple of git repositories, subversion repositories, and a lot of google and mailing list searches to ensure that every one who ever contributed to the project was properly recognized.

You can read more about that process here: http://www.mail-archive.com/memcached@googlegroups.com/msg00...

My apologies, and thanks for the exact date. I missed that the github commit date was in 2003. (If you miss that, your reply comes off as really snarky. Mine was a bit blunt, too.)

Had not the time to search through the codebase, but the source include 10 folders, a sysadmin's hell, some with software in C, some with software in C++ and some with python code, one of them is a folder named 'mencached'.

I worked on a project that had a directory named "manuel" and contained 8 C files and a file named "make.sh". I always thought it was some guy's private playground and shouldn't be touched. But once I dug into it I discovered a NIH implementation of Docbook + Doxygen + Markdown + grep + strings, and make.sh did what Makefile would have done, use make. And 'manuel' never existed, the French comments alerted me to gues…

And of course, "manual" means, "by hand". :)

The timing for me is interesting as I was just about to start up a cassandra setup here. This might be a better fit for my particular needs if I could get it running. Unfortunately, I'm having a difficult time figuring out where to start. A general getting started guide would be very helpful. - The FAQ on membase.org is empty and the wiki does not appear to be populated with much content (i.e. 'Directions for working…
