Hi Folks,

The open source GRASS GIS project turned 30 years old this week. Part of
the birthday celebrations was the release of a time-lapse video
visualisation <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR4_5GSID2A> of the code
commit history for the last fourteen years or so. Naturally the graph viz
got me thinking of how Leo might some day in the distant future be able to
drive something like that, interactively, which in turn got me thinking
about the history and story of Leo itself.

The Launchpad code repository goes back to early
2008<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~edreamleo/leo-editor/main/changes>,
but clearly Leo was already in full stride by then. The Leo History
page<http://leoeditor.com/history.html>tells us it was conceived in
1996, went through a couple of incubation
forms, and hatched into the world December 17, 2001. (huh, how about that,
the same month my eldest child was born :).   Does anyone have a handy
version-control-with-history copy of Leo for the 7 year leap betwixt 2001
and 2008?

It might be fun and interesting to build a continuous changelog or
timeline. I don't think I'd get anything like what Grass achieved, but I'd
like to experiment anyway.

cheers,

-matt
