Wow. Java 11. Looks like a great project for an update. Anybody know where we can get a group of CS students to update the code with a modern toolset? Used to be MIT, Clarkson, Cornell, Berkeley, RIT, etc cranked this stuff out.

Total tangent from the OP, but neat to see RIT listed here (among some excellent universities)! What kind of things has RIT done like this? Just a curious alum.

They were big in software for the one laptop per child project:

https://www.rit.edu/news/rit-class-develops-applications-sup...

And, while not open source, built this: https://dirsig.cis.rit.edu/

Also, I remember some kind of early realtime music accompaniment software, the guy played trumpet and the software played realtime accompaniment.

Also, MIT built X11, which later turned into a bureaucratic exercise instead of software project.

Berkeley, well BSD Unix.

Early web projects came out of Michigan, like gopher.

Not much lately though.

Gopher came out of the U of Minnesota. Their teams are the “Golden Gophers.”
