117ca54c3SmrgThe architect of the X11 core protocol was Bob Scheifler of MIT LCS, with 217ca54c3Smrgsignificant contributions from Jim Gettys, Phil Karlton and Scott 317ca54c3SmrgMcGregor of Digital, Dave Rosenthal of Sun, and many others of 417ca54c3Smrgthe xpert mailing list. 517ca54c3Smrg 617ca54c3SmrgThe original sample server implementation of the X11 protocol was 717ca54c3Smrgimplemented by Phil Karlton and Susan Angebrandt doing the device 817ca54c3Smrgindependent part of the server, with Raymond Drewry and Todd Newman of 917ca54c3SmrgDigital Equipment Corporation, doing the mi and original ddx 1017ca54c3Smrgimplementation; their feedback was vital to a good design, along with 1117ca54c3Smrgthat of the more than 100 alpha and beta testers who bravely tested 1217ca54c3Smrgthe X11 core design. 1317ca54c3Smrg 1417ca54c3SmrgThe X11 protocol library (Xlib) was built principally by Jim Gettys of 1517ca54c3SmrgDigital and MIT Project Athena, with assistance from Ron Newman of MIT 1617ca54c3SmrgProject Athena. 1717ca54c3Smrg 1817ca54c3SmrgOur thanks to those at MIT, Digital Equipment Corporation, Hewlett-Packard, 1917ca54c3SmrgIBM, and many others who had faith in us reimplementing X from first 2017ca54c3Smrgprinciples. 2117ca54c3Smrg 2217ca54c3SmrgIf there are mistakes here, they are mine; entirely possible after 2317ca54c3Smrgover 15 years. - Jim Gettys 2417ca54c3Smrg 2517ca54c3Smrg--- 2617ca54c3Smrg 2717ca54c3SmrgThe above is a description of the core protocol, inherited from the merge of 2817ca54c3Smrgthe various per-protocol repos into this unified project. The LG3D protocol was 2917ca54c3Smrgby Deron Johnson at Sun Microsystems. XFIXES, DAMAGE and COMPOSITE were by 3017ca54c3SmrgKeith Packard at HP; DAMAGE had additional contributions from Eric Anholt at 3117ca54c3SmrgIntel. The remaining extensions had no AUTHORS file; contributions for correct 3217ca54c3Smrgattribution here would be most welcome. - Adam Jackson 33
