Wayne Davison

Wayne Davison programmer, musician, born December 14 in California.

Wayne's first well-known project was trn, a Usenet newsreader based on Larry Wall's rn. During this time Wayne created the unified context diff (modifying GNU diff and patch), which allowed patches for Open Source software programs to be smaller and easier to read.

Other open-source projects he has either mainted or helped to maintain include screen, patch, rsync, zsh, pop-before-smtp, and rbmake.
