History
The first version of Enlightenment was released by Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) in 1997.
Version 0.17, also referred to as DR17 or E17, has been in development since December 2000. It is a complete rewrite on DR16 and was designed to be a full-fledged desktop shell, based on the new Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL).
Enlightenment developers have referred to it as "the original eye-candy window manager".

“A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments.”

It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
