I'm open to an ASDF history section being added to the manual, or a separate ASDF history web page being added that would be linked from index.html.

But I'm not open to doing this myself! I would accept a PR.

Actually, isn't this information available in some of the ILC papers? If so, isn't that sufficient?

A historical writeup is right up my alley. I think it can bind
together the information that was in the ILC papers.

Is a doc/history.md page alright, similar to the best_practices.md document?

That would be OK, unless you could put it into the manual. I've been meaning to incorporate the best practices there, but ... in my copious free time! pandoc might be able to give me an initial translation into Texinfo...

Should I remove the information from the index.html page as I put it
in history.md, leaving a link to the new document instead?

Yes, that would be great!

I'm
thinking particularly of the pseudo-changelog at the bottom of the
page, but also part of the documentation section, and the discussion
of obsolete alternatives (a lot of it currently commented out, but I
intend to move it all to the new document and uncomment the stuff
there, maybe in a different subsection).
