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?

I made this offer before, and got no takers, so I'll make it again:
I have every issue of AUUGN "from the year dot" (including the infamous
"ianj" newsletters).  I will make them available for copying (subject
to the usual copyright crap) etc, on one condition: I get them back.

It would also be nice if I didn't have to pay postage (there are a LOT
of them...).
