-    Jim Hugunin invented JPython and was the primary developer while
-    he was at CNRI.  In February 1999, Jim left CNRI for sunny
-    California and Barry Warsaw became the primary maintainer.
-    When Barry and the rest of PythonLabs left CNRI, Barry renamed
-    JPython to Jython, put the sources on SourceForge and made 
-    Finn Bock the primary maintainer.
+Jython: Python for the Java Platform
 
-    Python's inventor Guido van Rossum and the rest of PythonLabs
-    continues to help and support Jython by their understanding
-    of how Jython must live with the limits of Java.

-    Alan Kennedy contributed modjy, which bridges WSGI to the Servlet API
+Jython started as JPython, created by Jim Hugunin in 1997. JPython was
+renamed to Jython by Barry Warsaw in 1999 with the 2.0 release. Since
+then, Jython 2.x releases have corresponded to equivalent CPython 2.x
+releases.
 
-    Chris Gokey, David Syer and Finn Bock added PyServlet.
