As an extension to my previous question about Oz input into UNIX, I should ask:
Is there a reasonable paper or suchlike that describes the history of UNIX in
Oz from the year dot to, say, the early 1980's?

If there isn't, I'd like to see an effort started to capture that history
before the first generation disappear (no disrespect intended).

I will gladly volunteer to pull together any papers, stories, and anecdotes 
into a coherent history. The history would, of course, be made available at no 
cost.

How many people out there would be, and/or know someone who would be, willing
to contribute a brief history or a few stories to such an effort?
