  20 The following individuals and groups are to be acknowledged for their
  21 contributions to Mesa over the years.
  22 This list is far from complete and somewhat dated, unfortunately.

  25 <ul>
  26 <li>Early Mesa development was done while Brian was part of the
  27 <a href="http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis.html">
  28 SSEC Visualization Project</a> at the University of
  29 Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for letting him work on
  30 Mesa as part of that project.
  31 <br>
  32 <br>
  33 <li>John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in 1999 in
  34 order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very
  35 substantial piece of work.
  36 <br>
  37 <br>
  38 <li>Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently,
  39 Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of Mesa.
  40 <br>
  41 <br>
  42 <li>The
  43 <a href="http://www.mesa3d.org">Mesa</a>
  44 website is hosted by
