History of the Releases of Apache HTTPD

Hi,

I first sent this article to two newsgroups and I got an e-Mail about the 
Apache History Project. 
 
I made a list of the number of releases from several versions of the Apache 
HTTPD Server. I composed the list out of different ressources[1],[2],[3],[4]. 
I attached an HTML Version of the table.

|Serie        |Type      |First        |Last          |Number of     |
|             |          |Release      |Release       |Releases      |
|          0.x|unstable  |     18.03.95|      05.11.95|            32|
|            1|stable    |     23.11.95|      23.02.96|             4|
|         1.1b|beta      |     09.02.96|      17.06.96|             6|
|          1.1|stable    |     04.07.96|      12.07.96|             2|
|         1.2b|beta      |     02.12.96|      30.05.97|            11|
|          1.2|stable    |     10.06.97|      18.02.98|             7|
|         1.3b|beta      |     23.07.97|      26.05.98|             7|
|          1.3|stable    |     05.06.98|      03.10.02|            28|
|           2a|Alpha/beta|     10.03.00|      16.02.02|            14|
|            2|stable    |     05.04.02|      27.05.03|             9|


The date of the first releases (1.1.1, 1.1b4 ...) where hard to find. There 
are several differences between the Changefiles and ApacheWeek. Does
anybody have a further data of the different releases? 

What are the plans with the Apache History Project? It looks like the project 
is sleeping. I'm interested in the History of Apache and actually I would 
like to help.

cheers

Of course you can incorporate my informations. But I don't have that much 
information. The release cycles are one topic I'm looking at. Other topics 
are the specialisation of work, process of decision taking and the 
coordination.
I would like to analyse these processes from a sociological point (or rather 
organizational) of view.

I also started to read several month of the discussion in the mailinglist. And 
I think it is quite hard to read all the messages from the beginning. Maybe 
we could join the forces. First of all we would have to think about a 
categorization of the e-mails and the questions that should be answered.

It is sleeping. We had great plans, and then Real Life got in the way.
We would be delighted to incorporate any information that you have.

I think that one problem was that I started reading the email archives,
which are somewhere around 100K articles right now. That gets tiresome
very fast. Another approach might be better, but I'm not sure what that
approach is.
