gnucash/AUTHORS

Main Developers:
----------------
(In Historical Order)

Robin Clark <rclark@hmc.edu> 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 <linas@linas.org> 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 <jcollins@gnucash.org> 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 <rlb@cs.utexas.edu> 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 <dave@krondo.com> worked on most parts of Gnucash, especially
   the register and GUI.

Bill Gribble <grib@billgribble.com> 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 <rgmerk@mira.net> extensive work on reports and
   reporting infrastructure, gnome GUI work, and user preferences.

James LewisMoss <dres@debian.org> design doc patches, XML refactoring, 
   automated test suite, new file hierarchy import.

Christian Stimming <stimming@tuhh.de> is 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 <jsled@asynchronous.org> works on scheduled transactions, and
   general project monkeying (IRC bot, logs, website maintenance,
   bug-triage, &c.).

Derek Atkins <derek@ihtfp.com> 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 <hampton@employees.org> is 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 <chris@wilddev.net> Administers 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 <bock@step.polymtl.ca> coded a long awaited OFX module
   for GnuCash and wrote the external libOFX library that it uses.

Neil Williams <linux@codehelp.co.uk> 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 <c.shoemaker@cox.net> 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 <andi5.py@gmx.net> is hunting down lots of bugs,
   especially for GUI code and other gtk related issues.

Charles Day <cedayiv@gmail.com> overhauled the QIF importer and now
   focuses mainly on investment- and currency-related issues.
