The architect of the X11 core protocol was Bob Scheifler of MIT LCS, with
|
||
|
|
significant contributions from Jim Gettys, Phil Karlton and Scott
|
||
|
|
McGregor of Digital, Dave Rosenthal of Sun, and many others of
|
||
|
|
the xpert mailing list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The original sample server implementation of the X11 protocol was
|
||
|
|
implemented by Phil Karlton and Susan Angebrandt doing the device
|
||
|
|
independent part of the server, with Raymond Drewry and Todd Newman of
|
||
|
|
Digital Equipment Corporation, doing the mi and original ddx
|
||
|
|
implementation; their feedback was vital to a good design, along with
|
||
|
|
that of the more than 100 alpha and beta testers who bravely tested
|
||
|
|
the X11 core design.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The X11 protocol library (Xlib) was built principally by Jim Gettys of
|
||
|
|
Digital and MIT Project Athena, with assistance from Ron Newman of MIT
|
||
|
|
Project Athena.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our thanks to those at MIT, Digital Equipment Corporation, Hewlett-Packard,
|
||
|
|
IBM, and many others who had faith in us reimplementing X from first
|
||
|
|
principles.

If there are mistakes here, they are mine; entirely possible after
|
||
|
|
over 15 years. - Jim Gettys

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