wiki.ethora.com (legacy MediaWiki, unmaintained and partly spam-injected) is being retired. Before it goes, this preserves the one artefact on it that has ongoing analytical value.

What this adds: features/historical/2021-engine-feature-list.md, the 75-capability feature list published on the wiki's Main_Page for the early engine (then the Dappros Platform), across 10 groups.

Why it is not redundant with features.yaml:

  • features.yaml answers which SDK implements what, today (per-platform coverage, kept current by audit).
  • This table answers what the product claimed to be, as a whole, in 2021 (a capability taxonomy, written as product description).

That makes it useful baseline input for the comparison and taxonomy work: atomic-feature introspection, competitor comparison grids, and the "periodic table of chat/messaging systems" analysis. A vendor's own feature vocabulary at a fixed point in time is hard to reconstruct after the fact.

Clearly framed as an archive. The doc leads with its caveats: no statuses (everything reads as available), no evidence paths, and several capabilities were renamed or rebuilt later. Linked from features/README.md as "Historical archive" so it cannot be mistaken for the live matrix.

Provenance and full archive are held in the internal workspace at data/raw/wiki-ethora/.

The legacy MediaWiki at wiki.ethora.com is being decommissioned. Its Main_Page
carried a 75-capability feature list for the early engine that is a different
artefact from features.yaml: a product-level capability taxonomy from 2021,
rather than a per-SDK implementation audit.

Preserved under features/historical/ as input for comparison and taxonomy work
(atomic-feature introspection, competitor grids, the periodic-table analysis).
Clearly marked as an archive with its caveats: no statuses, no evidence paths,
and 2021-era positioning. Linked from features/README.md.
