Ron Newman (computer programmer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ron Newman is a computer programmer. He is most famous for his work in the early development of the X Window System, from the first version in 1984 to X11R2 in 1988.
Newman also maintained The Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval (GNKSA), a set of criteria for Usenet client programs to encourage good posting behavior.
Also of note in the 1990s was his web page on Scientology vs. the Internet[1], which was at one stage the primary resource on the controversy.[2] Newman stopped maintaining the page in October 1996, following which Operation Clambake became the most prominent critical website on Scientology from early 1997.
