| The following individuals and groups are to be acknowledged for their |
| contributions to Mesa over the years. |
| This list is far from complete and somewhat dated, unfortunately. |
| |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Early Mesa development was done while Brian was part of the |
| <A HREF="http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis.html" |
| target="_parent">SSEC Visualization Project</A> at the University of |
| Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for letting him work on |
| Mesa as part of that project. |
| <br> |
| <br> |
| <li>John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in 1999 in |
| order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very |
| substantial piece of work. |
| <br> |
| <br> |
| <li>Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently, |
| Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of Mesa. |
| <br> |
| <br> |
| <li>The |
