12 The following individuals and groups are to be acknowledged for their
13 contributions to Mesa over the years.
17 <li>Early Mesa development was done while Brian was part of the
18 <A HREF="http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis.html"
19 target="_parent">SSEC Visualization Project</A> at the University of
20 Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for letting him work on
21 Mesa as part of that project.
24 <li>John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in 1999 in
25 order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very
26 substantial piece of work.
29 <li>Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently,
30 Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of Mesa.
33 <li>The <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mesa3d"
