1The architect of the X11 core protocol was Bob Scheifler of MIT LCS, with
2significant contributions from Jim Gettys, Phil Karlton and Scott
3McGregor of Digital, Dave Rosenthal of Sun, and many others of
4the xpert mailing list.

6The original sample server implementation of the X11 protocol was
7implemented by Phil Karlton and Susan Angebrandt doing the device
8independent part of the server, with Raymond Drewry and Todd Newman of
9Digital Equipment Corporation, doing the mi and original ddx
10implementation; their feedback was vital to a good design, along with
11that of the more than 100 alpha and beta testers who bravely tested
12the X11 core design.

14The X11 protocol library (Xlib) was built principally by Jim Gettys of
15Digital and MIT Project Athena, with assistance from Ron Newman of MIT
16Project Athena.

18Our thanks to those at MIT, Digital Equipment Corporation, Hewlett-Packard,
19IBM, and many others who had faith in us reimplementing X from first
20principles.

23over 15 years. - Jim Gettys

27The above is a description of the core protocol, inherited from the merge of
28the various per-protocol repos into this unified project. The LG3D protocol was
29by Deron Johnson at Sun Microsystems. XFIXES, DAMAGE and COMPOSITE were by
30Keith Packard at HP; DAMAGE had additional contributions from Eric Anholt at
31Intel. The remaining extensions had no AUTHORS file; contributions for correct
32attribution here would be most welcome. - Adam Jackson
