Happy Brooke Vibber day!
Today I am publishing, in full, an interview I did with @bvibber back in 2021 about the history of #Wikipedia and #MediaWiki.

Topics covered include: aversion to change, BDFLs, #PHP, whether MediaWiki should RIIR, and more!
A few parts of this interview were published in the Signpost at the time, but most didn't make the cut solely for space reasons. So in light of recent events, I was looking back and thought it was still worth publishing.
