(I note the one in the zsh dist only goes back to where 2.6 started.) How far back do the zsh-list (the old monolithic list) archives go? I have an incomplete archive of it going back several years, but ... (I have, for example, the first message Richard Coleman ever posted to zsh-list. I tried to forward it the day he handed the archive over to Zoltan, but at that time I wasn't aware posting to zsh-announce was restricted, so it vanished into the ether.) } I cannot rewrite CONTRIBUTORS alone because I do not know what happened in } the development of zsh before 1995.

I know some of what happened going back to before Paul F. graduated ... to 1990 or so? ... but as I've mentioned, I was pretty much ignoring things from around 2.4.100 through about 2.6-beta9; and the machine on which I kept the really ancient sources died a while back. Anyway, Paul and I were trading mail about zsh before there was a zsh-list, so it all sort of blurs together at this point. And of course there were people at Princeton who were involved longer ago than I was.
