I don’t think Xerox invented the computer mouse. It was first drawn out by Douglass Engelbart and presented to the public in the 1968 presentation “Augmenting the Human Intellect” (you can watch it on the present day, it was recorded).
It was my understanding (which I did not verify) that this was removedd up by Xerox and others and that windowing systems evolved from there on with Xerox leading towards Desktop Publishing.
I’m also waiting for this to move some 500 repositories from GitHub to a realistic federated alternative. I follow up from a distance but don’t see much movement on ForgeFed for ForgeJo. Did I miss something?
