Even before that there was an Online Collaboration Dynamic Coalition
that I ran for a while, which hosted the former IGF Community Site back
when the official IGF website was much worse than it is now.  Before the
secretariat adopted Sched, it was the only place where you could get a
feed of the IGF events on your computer or phone, and also hosted
mailing lists for DCs and some other resources.  Some historical
materials about it are here:
