Contributors
Credit Where Credit is Due
When I first started Derelict, I did it because it was something I needed. I
decided to make it available to the D community at large in case other D
programmers found a need for it also. I never really expected that anyone would.
Thus, it was surprising to learn that not only were people using it, but they
were willing to contribute to it!
Contributions have come in various forms: bug reports, bug fixes, new ports,
and advice. For the first year of Derelict's existence, I did not maintain a
list of contributors. But, most everyone is on record in the forums (or my email
box). Names in parentheses are the handles on either the Derelict forums or the
D newsgroups (D NGs). If I missed anyone, forgive me!

Misc. - people who have influenced the development of Derelict in a
profound way.
- Walter Bright - the father of D and the DMD compiler. Without him, Derelict
has no reason to live!
- Brad Anderson (brad) - the guy who developed and manages Derelict's home,
dsource.org.
- Derek Parnell (derek) - created the incredible build utility, Bud, which allowed
Derelict to say "Cya" to Makefiles.
- John Reimer (JJR) - his efforts on the Linux front, the long hours he has
put into getting things working properly, his help for new users, and his
wonderful advice and ideas for Derelict's design have really made the project
what it has turned into.
- Chris Sauls (csauls) and Lars Ivar Igesund (larsivi) - the guys who started
the Sinbad project at dsource,
which inspired Derelict's creation in the first place.
If I missed anyone who directly contributed to Derelict, please let me know! I don't
want to leave anyone out. Credit should also go to the regulars on the D
newsgroups whose advice, projects, ideas, and troubleshooting have helped many
D coders along the way. Cheers to you all!
