there's a trove in the PARC Archives we should point to and also mine for better understanding of the actual history as told in source files.

From CHM PARC archives web

A group of former PARC Interlisp developers led by Larry Masinter have created a project to restore Medley Interlisp to run on modern operating systems. Find out more at https://interlisp.org/. The group also has compiled additional historical resources on Interlisp here.

The expanded PARC archive contains directories of code and documentation for versions of Interlisp-D, CommonLisp and other Lisp dialects, and various applications that were written in Interlisp-D and ran in that environment. Notable applications include TEdit, the text editor, Rooms, a window manager, Trillium, a UI design environment, and Notecards, a hypertext system.

What follows are the various Interlisp-related directories in the expanded PARC archive, some applications written in Interlisp, followed by other non-Interlisp Lisp dialects:

• JLisp — 1986 Interlisp with Japanese fonts [phylum] Lisp — 1984–1987 various snapshots of INTERLISP/Interlisp-D [eris], [erinyes], [phylum] LispARs — 1984 Lisp Action Requests [phylum] LispCore — mid-1982 Lisp snapshot [eris] lispcourse — 1988 courses on Interlisp language and workstation usage [qv] LISPFONTS — 1989 Strike-format fonts [phylum] LispLibrary — 1989 various libraries for Interlisp [phylum] LispManual — 1984 Interlisp manual [eris], [erinyes] LispUsers — 1984 packages by non-Xerox and Xerox people, distributed in source form [eris], [phylum] Loops — 1985 Object-oriented extension to Interlisp (pre-Common Lisp) [indigo], [phylum] Medley — 1989 small set of patches, circa 1989 [phylum] TEdit — 1986 Interlisp text-editing tool [eris] Notecards — 1984–1989: An Interlisp-D-based hypertext system designed by Randall Trigg, Thomas Moran and Frank Halasz. Main system in QV, Phylum contains demo data. http://csis.pace.edu/~marchese/CS835/Readings/7issues.pdf [phylum], [qv] Rooms — 1986–1987: An Interlisp-D window manager/workspace management tool (sources, demo configurations) by Austin Henderson and Stuart Card [qv] Trillium — 1987 Nick Briggs' Trillium UI Design Environment project in Interlisp [qv] Other (non-Interlisp) Lisp dialects CD6/franchi/CENTAUR/lelisp/v15.22/* — 1990–1991 Le_Lisp version 15.22, from I.N.R.I.A. This is only the runtime environment for the SUN 4 OS4 workstations, not the entire system. [cd6]CENTAUR>lelisp>v15.22> 3-LISP — 1988 Smith and Rivieres reflective Lisp [phylum]<3-lisp> CommonLisp 1996 — this is actually a snapshot of CMU Spice Lisp from 1984, and was released into the public domain at that time. It was in fact a basis for Common Lisp — see here for details: http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/maclisp_family/#Spice_Lisp_ [eris] AI Applications bluebonnet — 1984 Bluebonnet Expert Help System by Fikes [phylum], [qv] IDL — 1989 Ron Kaplan's IDL (Interactive Data Analysis) project [qv] KRL — 1987 snapshot of frame-based knowledge representation language by Bobrow and Winograd. The project began in the mid-1970s and was a collaboration between Bobrow at PARC and Winograd at SAIL. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KRL_%28programming_language%29 [indigo] Speech — 1985 Lisp-based code for speech recognition [eros], [ivy], [phylum], [eris]

Hmmm... the original credit for Trillium should be to D. Austin Henderson, I took over technical support and community development for Xerox applications of Trillium from him in late 1984.
