Site History in a Nutshell:

The original cjvlang site went up in mid-July 2000 and the Bird Names subsite (featuring Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese bird names) was begun around October of that year. Pelecanidae and Accipitrinae were among the first to be uploaded. Despite interruptions, the list was essentially complete by June 2003.

In 2004 information from sources such as Howard & Moore 2003 was incorporated. Links to photos on the Internet were added.

In 2005, the site was converted to Unicode.

In 2006 Mainland Southeast Asian birds were added.

Little was done in 2007/2008, mainly as I was in Mongolia without books.

A major overhaul began in late 2008, culminating in the creation of Sibagu. Sibagu Vietnam went live in April 2009, followed by Sibagu Mongolia (August 2009), Sibagu Japan (November 2009), Sibagu Taiwan (February 2010), and finally Sibagu China (March 2011). Besides splitting lists up by country, Sibagu also added new languages -- Turkish, Kazakh, Korean, Thai, Malay, and Indonesian.
