Credit for Wilma goes to the following people:

Achim Bohnet, for the original inspiration.  The main index still
  bears some resemblance to his original design.

Tom Christiansen, for the striphtml program.

Jason Tibbitts <tibbs@uh.edu>, for the original badly written
    undocumented code.

Dave Wolfe <dave_wolfe@computer.org>, for the current cleanly written
    documented code.


The Story:

Jason wanted to provide web-based archives for his lists. He looked
at all the offerings but found a dearth of free searchable archive
presenters. MHonArc was decidedly the best mbox -> web presenter out
there, and Glimpse a reasonable choice of indexer, but nothing combined
them. Then Jason saw Achim's page and begged him for the info on how he
did it.

Eventually what was called "tmli" emerged and archived Jason's lists
for a couple of years. tmli was poorly written, being Jason's first
Perl program. It had no documentation, though a message sent to
majordomo-users one day described it in sketchy detail.

Dave took the code and the message and turned it into something
useful. The result is Wilma. It was originally named Glue because it
is essentially a bit of glue between MHonArc, Glimpse and Majordomo's
archive2.pl-created mbox files, but that was so simple it was doomed to
conflict, so after releasing Glue 1.2 we re-released it as Wilma 1.3. If
your name is Wilma, consider it a compliment.
