Exactly 20 years ago today, jQuery was announced to the world!

jQuery was announced at BarCamp NYC on January 14, 2006 by John Resig
@jeresigJohn Resig, and is now maintained by the jQuery Team including Timmy
@timmywilTimmy Willison, MichaΕ
@mgol and myself (on the infra side).
Usage still grows every year, both in traffic (via the jQuery CDN) and number of distinct sites overall (incl self-hosted and other CDNs).
