History
1994: The development of Weka was funded by a grant from the New Zealand Government's Foundation for Research, Science and Technology and the University of Waikato in New Zealand began development of the original version of Weka, which became a mix of Tcl/Tk, C, and Makefiles.
1997: Weka was redeveloped from scratch in Java, including implementations of modeling algorithms.
2000 : Weka was put on SourceForge in April 2000.
2005: Weka received the SIGKDD Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Service Award.In this year Weka was downloaded at a rate of 10,000/month.
2006 Pentaho Corporation acquired an exclusive licence to use Weka for business intelligence.[2]
