[Orgmode] Acknowledgements

[Carsten Dominik]

Dear all,

I would like to update my list with acknowledgements in the
Org manual.  This list is supposed to include people who have
either made a decisive contribution in a certain area (like
an initial proposal, a clever idea), or who have helped
improve org (either an area, or as a whole) with consistent
contributions, reports, testing.  It should also list people
who have written one of the packages (files, also in contrib).
I have the feeling that this list is not complete enough.

So I would like to ask you to look through this list and
tell me if you can suggest additions.  This may include
your own contribution if you think it fits.  If you
don't want to suggest yourself in front of the Org-mode
crowd, write to me privately.

If someone has a little time at his/her hands, a good exercise
would be to check all the authors of all the lisp files
in Org (including contrib) and to match that against the
acknowledgement list, and compile me a list of omissions.
If you want to do this, announce it here on the list so that
we avoid double work.

I am attaching the current list below.

Thanks!

    calculations and improved XEmacs compatibility, in particular by
    porting `nouline.el' to XEmacs.

  * Sacha Chua suggested copying some linking code from Planner.

  * Baoqiu Cui contributed the DocBook exporter.

  * Eddward DeVilla proposed and tested checkbox statistics.  He also
    came up with the idea of properties, and that there should be an
    API for them.

  * Nick Dokos tracked down several nasty bugs.

  * Kees Dullemond used to edit projects lists directly in HTML and so
    inspired some of the early development, including HTML export.  He
    also asked for a way to narrow wide table columns.

  * Thomas S. Dye contributed documentation on Worg and helped
    integrating the Org-Babel documentation into the manual.

  * Christian Egli converted the documentation into Texinfo format,
    patched CSS formatting into the HTML exporter, and inspired the
    agenda.

  * David Emery provided a patch for custom CSS support in exported
    HTML agendas.

  * Nic Ferrier contributed mailcap and XOXO support.

    version control system.

  * Manuel Hermenegildo has contributed various ideas, small fixes and
    patches.

  * Phil Jackson wrote `org-irc.el'.

    and named invisible anchors.  He has also worked a lot on the FAQ.
