If we're going to have links to video, then perhaps we need links to
v4l, v4l2 and other video technologies that go beyond the ATI hardware.

I recommend putting XFree86 and Mesa at the top of the list as they are
the two primary parent projects.

Precision Insight, Inc.
http://www.precisioninsight.com
The original company responsible for creating the DRI.

VA Software bought out Precision Insight, Inc. in April 2000.  In August
of 2001 the Precision Insight team was layed off.

The new home for DRI development.

I'd put XFree86 and Mesa at the top of the list as they are the two
primary parent projects.

I don't see how these guys are related, but if you insist they really
need to be here, then you should also include a pointer to Metro Link.

You could also add links to OS's that support the DRI:

Linux
http://www.kernel.org

FreeBSD
http://www.freebsd.org

You could also add links to Linux Distros that support the DRI:

Red Hat
http://www.redhat.com

SuSE
http://www.suse.com

Mandrake
http://www.mandrake.com

Debian
http://www.debian.org

Hmm, that's already a pretty long list.  You could just cut back to the
ones directly related to the DRI:

  Mesa
  XFree86
  Tungsten Graphics
  3Dfx
  3DLabs
  ATI
  Intel
  Matrox
  PowerVR
  SiS
