- <P>
- Apache was originally based on code and ideas found in the most popular
- HTTP server of the time.. NCSA httpd 1.3 (early 1995). It has since evolved
- into a far superior system which can rival (and probably surpass) almost any
- other UNIX based HTTP server in terms of functionality, efficiency and
- speed. </P>
- <P>
- Since it began, it has been completely rewritten, and includes many new
- features. Apache is, as of January 1997, the most popular WWW server on
- the Internet, according to the Netcraft Survey. </P>

- The Apache Project is a collaborative software development effort aimed at
- creating a robust, commercial-grade, featureful, and freely-available source
- code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server. The project is jointly managed
- by a group of volunteers located around the world, using the Internet and the
- Web to communicate, plan, and develop the server and its related
- documentation. These volunteers are known as the Apache Group. In addition,
- hundreds of users have contributed ideas, code, and documentation to the
- project. This file is intended to briefly describe the history of the Apache
- Group and recognize the many contributors.
