Paul Phillips records his acknowledgments as follows:
Thanks to
everyone in the WWW community, in general a great bunch of people.
Special thanks to Clem Taylor <ctaylor@eecis.udel.edu>, who
provided invaluable feedback on many of my ideas, and offered good
ones of his own. Also thanks to John Franks, author of wn, for
writing what I believe is the best webserver out there.
Links to documents relevant to Boa development and usage. Incomplete, we're still working on this. NCSA has a decent http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/Library.html page along these lines, too.
