+Acknowledgements
+================
+
+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.
+
+-  Early Mesa development was done while Brian was part of the `SSEC
+   Visualization Project <https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis.html>`__
+   at the University of Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for
+   letting him work on Mesa as part of that project.
+-  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.
+-  Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently,
+   Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of
+   Mesa.
+-  The `Mesa <https://www.mesa3d.org>`__ website and Git repository are
+   hosted by `freedesktop.org <https://freedesktop.org/>`__.
+-  `alt.software <http://web.archive.org/web/20131110021426/http://www.altsoftware.com/>`__
+   contributed the Direct3D driver.
+-  **Bernd Barsuhn** wrote the evaluator code for (splines, patches) in
+   Mesa.
+-  **Bernhard Tschirren** wrote the Allegro DJGPP driver.
+-  **Bogdan Sikorski** wrote the GLU NURBS and polygon tessellator in
+   Mesa.
+-  **Charlie Wallace** wrote the MS-DOS driver.
+-  **CJ Beyer** was the `www.mesa3d.org <https://www.mesa3d.org>`
+   webmaster.
+-  **Darren Abbott** provided the OS/2 driver.
+-  **David Bucciarelli** wrote and maintained the 3Dfx Glide driver.
+   Thousands of Linux/Quake players thank David!
+-  **Gareth Hughes** wrote new GLU 1.2 Polygon Tessellation code (now
+   superseded by SGI SI GLU).
+-  **Holger Waechtler** contributed AMD 3DNow! assembly code which
+   accelerates vertex transformation in Mesa 3.1. Holger also
+   implemented the GL_EXT_texture_env_combine extension.
+-  **Jeroen van der Zijp** and **Thorsten Ohl** contributed the Xt/Motif
+   widget code.
+-  **John Stone** provided the multi-threading support in Mesa 3.0.
+-  **John Watson** assisted with web page design.
+-  **Josh Vanderhoof** contributed Intel x86 assembly code which
+   accelerates vertex transformation in Mesa 3.x.
+-  **Jouk Jansen** contributed and continues to maintain the VMS
+   support.
+-  **Karl Schultz** has been maintaining the Windows driver.
+-  **Keith Whitwell** has made extension contributions to Mesa since
+   1999.
+-  **Kendall Bennett** wrote the SciTech MGL driver.
+-  **Klaus Niederkrueger** contributed many improvements to Mesa's
+   software rasterizer.
+-  **Mark Kilgard** contributed antialiased line improvements and
+   several extensions.
+-  **Michael Pichler** contributed *many* bug fixes
+-  **Miklos Fazekas** wrote and maintains the Macintosh driver.
+-  **Pascal Thibaudeau** wrote the NeXT driver.
+-  **Pedro Vazquez** setup and maintains the Mesa Mailing list.
+-  **Randy Frank** contributed *many* bug fixes.
+-  **Stefan Zivkovic** wrote the Amiga driver.
+-  **Stephane Rehel** provided the Cygnus Win32 support
+-  **Ted Jump** maintained the makefiles and project files for Windows
+   95/98/NT compilation for some time.
+-  **Uwe Maurer** wrote the LibGGI driver for Mesa-3.0.
+-  **Victor Ng-Thow-Hing** wrote the Amiwin driver for the Amiga.
+
+Apologies to anyone who's been omitted. Please send corrections and
+additions to Brian.
