This is the ArgoUML History depicted as a timeline.
Currently it is very incomplete because the initial author (Linus Tolke)
don't know that much about the ancient history of ArgoUML.
Hopefully some of the persons that has been around for long (Jason,
Marko, Toby...) can fill in the blanks and questions marks and answer
the questions.
