I put together the following: http://users.theshell.com/~vinn/wine-history.html
There's two major additions I'd like to see and I don't think I'm capable of doing them:
1) Wine history from 1994 - 1999 with a specific emphasis on changes to the architecture, design decisions that got discarded, developers who've come and gone.
2) Specific quotes from over the years. I sort of put some examples of that in the document above. Humorous quotes would be especially nice. If no one has any suggestions then I'll likely just remove the existing ones and add the information to the relevant paragraphs.
I'm also thinking of adding a paragraph on the tools and programs developed for Wine.

Some interesting postings from the beginnings of Wine were collected and reposted last year. They might be worth including or being referenced in some form.

There are also the threads from late last year that involved Bob Amstadt, regarding the Wine History..

Yeah, what are we waiting for? :)
This stuff looks good, let's get it on the site, and update it as time goes on when (1) new interesting things happen, and/or (2) we discover more stuff from the past. But we can do that in patch form, no?
