There needs to be a book with stuff like this.
There is no Unix history
book that I have ever seen with the depth of information in threads like
this and others on TUHS. It would be a huge project and hard to tell if
there would me more than just recognition and intrinsic rewards for the
effort -- but maybe that is enough.
So having just finished a book project and therefore having a bit of a clue
as to what it would take, I'd be willing to take a stab at coordinating a
project like this. But it's not clear to me what the audience should be.
Many of the folks on this list are obsessive with details that matter to,
well, only people on this list. To make a good book I think that it would
have to trace the major paths, innovations, and people. In any case, this
would be easy - just write whatever you want and wait for Clem to correct
you and fill in the details :-)
