10.1.5: Contributors

The new Gnus version couldn't have been done without the help of all the people on the (ding) mailing list. Every day for over a year I have gotten billions of nice bug reports from them, filling me with joy, every single one of them. Smooches. The people on the list have been tried beyond endurance, what with my ``oh, that's a neat idea <type type>, yup, I'll release it right away <ship off> no wait, that doesn't work at all <type type>, yup, I'll ship that one off right away <ship off> no, wait, that absolutely does not work'' policy for releases. Micro$oft---bah. Amateurs. I'm much worse. (Or is that ``worser''? ``much worser''? ``worsest''?)

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Academy for... oops, wrong show.

• Masanobu UMEDA---the writer of the original GNUS.
• Per Abrahamsen---custom, scoring, highlighting and SOUP code (as well as numerous other things).
• Luis Fernandes---design and graphics.
• Erik Naggum---help, ideas, support, code and stuff.
• Wes Hardaker---`gnus-picon.el' and the manual section on picons (see Picons).
• Kim-Minh Kaplan---further work on the picon code.
• Brad Miller---`gnus-gl.el' and the GroupLens manual section (see GroupLens).
• Sudish Joseph---innumerable bug fixes.
• Ilja Weis---`gnus-topic.el'.
• Steven L. Baur---lots and lots and lots of bugs detections and fixes.
• Vladimir Alexiev---the refcard and reference booklets.
• Felix Lee & Jamie Zawinski---I stole some pieces from the XGnus distribution by Felix Lee and JWZ.
• Scott Byer---`nnfolder.el' enhancements & rewrite.
• Peter Mutsaers---orphan article scoring code.
• Ken Raeburn---POP mail support.
• Hallvard B Furuseth---various bits and pieces, especially dealing with .newsrc files.

For a full overview of what each person has done, the ChangeLogs included in the Gnus alpha distributions should give ample reading (550kB and counting).

Apologies to everybody that I've forgotten, of which there are many, I'm sure.

Gee, that's quite a list of people. I guess that must mean that there actually are people who are using Gnus. Who'd'a thunk it!
