Check out Eddie's (Christian) site on the Wayback Machine:

That gives you the complete story, I don't know why he removed this page from his web, maybe the Sourceforge page should point to this wayback machine link just for historic purposes.
The history before git is pretty short, he got the idea and got the whole thing working in about a month! The following year he registered the project in Sourceforge and basically abandoned there. Later Egan took over maintenance from him, and from there the history is in the commits.
I can't recall when but at some point Egan was too busy to pull my changes and my repo became ahead of the one in SF. I tried to contact Eddie (Christian) to pull my changes to make his repo the official one but couldn't get a response from him, so my repo is still ahead of the rest (but shouldn't be!).
