GETTING HELP: If you need help with GnuCash, please do not contact any
of the Authors directly. Instead, first look at the FAQ to see if your question
is common and is answered there. If that doesn't help, there are mailing
lists in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and an English
IRC channel. More information can be found at for Mailing List and IRC.

Early Developers:
----------------
(In Historical Order)
Robin Clark wrote the original X-Accountant in Motif as a school
project, taking it to version 0.9 by October 1997. Although every
single line of his code has been re-written (several times over),
his name appears as a credit in almost every file. Such is the
power of copyrights.
Linas Vepstas liked what he saw: the GUI was slick, the code was
documented and well structured, and it was all GPL'ed. And so he
re-wrote it: adding cell-widgets to XbaeMatrix, so that the
combobox and arrows would make an even slicker GUI, rewrote the
X-Accountant internals to add double-entry, an account hierarchy,
split out a transaction mini-engine, add support for stocks, and
spiffed up the help menus. All for version 1.0 as of January 1998.
Since then, for version 1.1 & 1.2, the engine was expanded &
refined, and the register window code completely redesigned and
made mostly Motif-(and GUI-)independent.
Jeremy Collins publicized the GnoMoney project widely and broadly, and
then changed its name to GnuCash. (Actually, he put the selection
of the name up to popular vote. We all learned that democracy is
not a good way to pick names.) Jeremy registered the domain name,
and created and maintained the gnucash.org web site for years, and
got the initial GTK/gnome code working.
Rob Browning abused everyone for not using perl, and then after we
added Perl support, dumped Perl in favor of Guile/Scheme
support. Rob added user preferences, re-wrote the reports in
scheme, and contributed the change-over of the file-format to
XML. He then concentrated on scheme performance and has been the
g-wrap guile wrapper maintainer.
Dave Peticolas worked on most parts of Gnucash, especially the
register and GUI.
Bill Gribble is not shy, or softly spoken. So don't be shy if you find
a bug in his code: QIF import, query API and transaction search,
check-printing, commodity and currency support, gtkhtml integration
and report printing, pgp support, guppi integration, and the new
main window layout.
Robert Graham Merkel extensive work on reports and reporting
infrastructure, gnome GUI work, and user preferences.
James LewisMoss designed doc patches, XML refactoring, automated test
suite, new file hierarchy import.
Christian Stimming was a report-generating monster. He's been one of
the largest contributors to the report infrastructure, creating
many of the important reports initially. He has also contributed
HBCI online banking support and manages internationalization and
translation.
Joshua Sled worked on scheduled transactions and general project
monkeying (IRC bot, logs, website maintenance, bug-triage, &c.).
Derek Atkins wrote the business-accounting package for Gnucash. This
includes the Customer/Vendor database, Job tracking, Order entry,
Invoicing, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and related
technologies. In the process he re-wrote the Query engine,
modularized the Book object storage, and modularized the backend to
allow pluggable objects.
David Hampton was an all-around hacker. He implemented a large porting
of the gtk2 conversion. He generally works on cleaning up the GUI
and on fleshing out support for stocks. David has picked up Dave
Peticolas's previous tendency to hack obsessively on
GnuCash. (Something in the name?)
Chris Lyttle Administered the GnuCash bug list. Improved the help and
integrated and finished a concepts and tutorial written by Carol
Champagne. Looks after releasing new GnuCash versions and updating
the website.
Benoit Grégoire coded a long awaited OFX module for GnuCash and wrote
the external libOFX library that it uses.
Neil Williams finished conversion from GncBook to QofBook and worked
on the separation of QoF into a standalone library. He also
contributed lots of Doxygen fixes and updates.
Chris Shoemaker implemented budgeting support for GnuCash. He replaced
g-wrap by SWIG as GnuCash's guile wrapper generator and is also an
all around hacker.
Andreas Köhler hunted down lots of bugs, especially for GUI code and
other gtk related issues.
Charles Day overhauled the QIF importer and focused then on
investment- and currency-related issues.
