What is Ganymedes development history like?
Ganymede is the successor to GASH, the Group Admin Shell, which was developed at ARL starting in early 1993, and which was presented at the USENIX LISA VIII conference in San Diego, CA in September, 1994. Refinements and further development of GASH continued into mid-1995, before we decided that the GASH design wouldn’t carry us much further without massive pain and effort. Initial work on spec’ing Ganymede started in late 1995. After several months of planning on pen and paper, active code development started around June 1996. In March 1998, the first binary developer’s pre-release was put on the ftp site. In December 1998, we presented Ganymede at the USENIX LISA XII conference in Boston, MA. The first full source distribution, under GPL licensing, was sent out in January, 1999. Work on Ganymede 2.0 began in earnest in 2004 when the release of Subversion made it feasible to really move things around and start breaking things in the source tree. Since then, we’ve made continual refine
