James Gettys, Robert W. Scheifler, et al.

“ The design and implementation of the first 10 versions of X were primarily the work of three individuals: Robert Scheifler of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Jim Gettys of Digital Equipment Corporation and Ron Newman of MIT, both at MIT Project Athena. X version 11, however, is the result of the efforts of dozens of individuals at almost as many locations and organizations. At the risk of offending some of the players by exclusion, we would like to acknowledge some of the people who deserve special credit and recognition for their work on Xlib. ”

“ The alpha and beta test participants deserve special recognition and thanks as well. It is signifi- cant that the bug reports (and many fixes) during alpha and beta test came almost exclusively from just a few of the alpha testers, mostly hardware vendors working on product implementations of X. The continued public contribution of vendors and universities is certainly to the bene- fit of the entire X community. ”

“ Others who have contributed to the architectural design or testing of the sample implementation of the internationalization facilities are: Hector Chan (Digital) , Michael Kung (IBM) , Joseph Kwok (Digital) , Hiroyuki Machida (Sony) , Nelson Ng (SunSoft) , Frank Rojas (IBM) , Yoshiyuki Segawa (Fujitsu OSSI) , Makiko Shimamura (Fujitsu) , Shoji Sugiyama (IBM) , Lining Sun (SGI) , Masaki Takeuchi (Sony) , Jinsoo Yoon (KAIST) and Akiyasu Zen (HP) . ”
