<!-- <h2><a name="about">About Proof General</a></h2> -->
<h2>The Proof General project</h2>
<p>
The forefather of Proof General was LEGO mode, begun by Thomas
Kleymann in 1994 as an Emacs-based front end for LEGO similar to <a
href="http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/da/Isamode">Isamode</a>.  Later,
implementations of proof-by-pointing and script management were added,
and the code was made generic.  
</p>

<p>
This generic basis for Proof General was further developed at the
<a href="http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/lfcs">LFCS</a> by Kleymann, Sequeira, 
Goguen and Aspinall (in order of appearance). 
It follows some of the ideas used in 
<a href="http://www.inria.fr/croap/">Project CROAP</a>.

The authors and current maintainers of the various instantiations of
Proof General are mentioned on the 
<?php link_root("main","front page.") ?>
</p>
<p> 
The Proof General project was coordinated until October 1998 by Thomas
Kleymann, and since then by David Aspinall.
The project has benefited from
funding by <a
href="http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/lfcs/research/logic_and_proof/attbpa.html">EPSRC</a>
and the <a
href="http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/lfcs/research/types_bra/index.html">EC</a>.
</p>
