When was scratch founded?

Hi everybody, I'm back. I was wondering when scratch was founded. If anybody knows, please tell me. Also, what was the first project?  Does anybody have a list of in what order people joined? It would be greatly appreciated.
     Thanks,
coolperson  smile

Well, they've been working on Scratch for more than 4 years, so I don't know. I'm sure the Scratch website is newer than Scratch itself.

Also, there's a picture of an old version of Scratch on the third page
