W history

Torsten Scherer (TeSche) starts W in 1994 because X is too heavy under MiNT... The goals were: W should be lightweight and easy to program graphics window system, use client-server model and be able to run WTerm, Wload, WClock and simple games. Torsten achieved these goals admirably, I'd say! :-)

Currently W and W toolkit are "maintained" by Eero Tamminen.
