     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
