6 August 1998

• Work on converting the content of the text version of QRSTUV was complete and the web version went online. The old text version was taken offline.

July 1998

• Work continued on the revamping. An announcement was made about the new home and the work on the update.

June 1998

• Work began on a revamped QRSTUV. It was brought into the age of HTML. A new location was found to shake the fetters of the text file limitation.

4 April 1996

• The final update of the text version was released.

6 December 1995

• QRSTUV - The Quick Roland Stephen Taylor Ubiquitous Volume, an abridged edition, was posted to the steve-taylor list. A copy is still available at the list's web site.

16 June 1995, 14 September 1995, 5 November 1995

• QRSTUV was posted to rec.music.christian, as can be verified through DejaNews. With each such post came new information and changes based on suggestions from net folk.

Late December 1994 sometime after Christmas

• QRSTUV was first posted to rec.music.christian signaling it's official release. An exact date can not be found as the archives of DejaNews only go back as far as March 1995.
• It was also at this time that QRSTUV became available in the Artist Information section of the Contemporary Christian Music Special Interest Group (CCM SIG) on the National Capital Freenet (Ottawa). This information was also available through the World Wide Web.

The two weeks before Christmas 1994

• I met Trent Ernst online who provided some suggestions on the draft at that point in development. Peter Thomas Chattaway, a friend of Trent, provided information on a number of less well documented projects Steve worked on. Peter also provided a number of suggestions on the draft.

Early December 1994

• QRSTUV was first written as a text file, based loosely on the layout of The Phil Keaggy Information Phile.
