Earliest I have it on a Wikimedia list is from WikiEn-L on 2/11/08 from Ian Woollard (written as principle of least surprise), in the context of a Muhammad images thread started by Jimbo -- but my logs only go back to the summer of 07.
On-wiki, I see it being used in naming convention arguments for years, as early as April 2005. I'm not sure when it made the transition from user interface design principle to a more general content principle, but it looks like (from a web search) it was commonly used for Ruby as early as 2002-2003. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
