Hang Gliding / Paragliding History

The brief intro to FAI on its homepage could do with a close look and editing/rewriting for historical accuracy:
"Francis Rogallo, Dave Barish and Domina Jalbert share the paternity of the paraglider, and also the experimenters who developed these three men’s designs..." For starters, I'd suggest differentiating between the three: crediting Francis with the invention of what became the modern hang glider; Dom with what became the modern paraglider and David along with early parachute design, as one of the prime popularizers of the sport of paragliding.
Is that "one day in 1985...slopes of the Alps on specially designed machines and the media announced that a new sport—paragliding—was born" misleading? I'm not familiar with the event, but I suspect hang gliding preceded it by some twenty years. Differentiating between the two and perhaps coming up with a more general term that covers putting the two into context...this might be of benefit to clarity.
"Although...obviously a close relative of the Jalbert wing, the modern paraglider is as far removed from it as a Ferrari from a Fiat 500..." One might refer to the Wright brothers' Flyer in the same disparaging tone. Yes, there have been countless improvements from the Wright Flyer to modern aircraft, but the Wrights...were the first to develop human controlled, powered aircraft.
I'd be very interested in helping to compile and honor some of the major hg/pg improvements---and acknowledge these inventors' contributions to what has become the modern craft of hang gliding and paragliding.
"The first mattress-shaped paragliders had a glide ratio of around 4:1..." Yes, and the first flight in a powered aircraft lasted just 12 seconds.
"This (These) improvement(s) has (have) been brought about by a continual process..." It goes without saying. There might be a short list giving weight and credit to those responsible for the most important improvements as well as popularization of this sport.
"Today, paragliding..." (and hang gliding?)" competitions include cross-country, aerobatic..."(duration?) "and accuracy championships."
What this writer would like to see happen is not just an improvement of the FAI's brief text (nor does it need to be longer), but a body of information incorporating a close, authoritative investigation of the details of hang-gliding/paragliding history.
What better place than in a parent organization with the status of the FAI?
How 'bout an on-going forum on this subject, then?
Flight and everything related to invention for that matter have been rife with misinformation as well as contention. How can we keep ourselves on a positive track?
Who might we turn to enlist help in digging out and establishing this information?
Consider the effort required to establish a degree of accuracy in determining historical perspective: I'd be inclined to hope for documented attributions through news accounts or, at the least, hoping for information which passes as independent confirmation.
What can be done in a FIA forum?
Again I'm not suggesting focusing on the FAI home page statement, but searching for material from which this statement might gain more authority.
There's a bit of hill-climbing ahead before we can sail off into space. If you are interested in this subject, c'mon board!
