-Information of interest to nmh developers can be found in
-the README.developers file in the docs subdirectory of this
-distribution. If you're hacking on the code, you should also
-definately subscribe to the nmh-workers mailing list. To do so, send
-mail to nmh-workers-request@mhost.com with the subject "subscribe". If
-you're interested in working on nmh, but aren't sure what to do, see
-the TODO file in the docs subdirectory. There's plenty of work there.

-Working with your shell
------------------------
-The files COMPLETION-TCSH and COMPLETION-ZSH in the docs subdirectory
-give cookbook examples of how to use the enhanced features of
-these shells with nmh. There is also a section in Jerry Peek's book
-covering nmh/MH and working with the shell. The section is available
-online here: http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/mh/mhanthsh.htm

+list. To do so, please visit the nmh-workers info page at
+<http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers>. Up to now,

+The MH system was originally developed in 1979 by the RAND
+Corporation. It was written primarily by Bruce S. Borden after ideas
+in a memo by R. Stockton Gaines and Norman Z. Shapiro. In 1982,
+the University of California, Irvine took up maintenance of the
+software, under the direction of Marshall T. Rose and John L. Romine.
+
+nmh was started by Richard Coleman (coleman@math.gatech.edu) after
+development on MH mostly stopped. He did the original autoconfiscation
+and most of the other work up until version 1.0. nmh is currently being
+developed and maintained by a loosely organized group of volunteers.
