An excellent job, Deborah.
> the Software Tools movement established one of the earliest traditions of open source
Would you be open to saying "reestablished"? Open source (not so called,
and in no way portable) was very much a tradition of SHARE in the late
1950s. Portability, as exemplified in ACM's collected algorithms, came
in at the same time that industry moved to a model of trade secrets and
intellectual property. Open source went into eclipse.

Hello!
That's amazing. I know of both Dennis Hall, especially Dennis Hall,
and that of Joseph S. Sventek via Cliff Stoll's book "Cuckoo's Egg" of
course.

I rewrote the article on the Software Tools project and, thanks to Bruce
Borden's efforts to upload, they accepted it within 1 day. You can see
it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_tools_users_group
The Usenix article in Wiki is pretty thin, in case anyone would like to
spiffy it up.
