Credits
- The Zope software receives contributions from far and wide. Here's
- the Zope Hall of Fame:
-
- o The many participants in Zope 3 sprints worldwide should be
- listed here! Also other contributors. And several of the
- features below are no longer part of Zope 3 -- but does that
- mean that they should be removed? In the open source world,
- credits are important currency. It's best not to remove
- credits, ever.
-
- o Stephen Purcell allows us to distribute his PyUnit unit testing
- framework with Zope.
-
- o Jeff Bauer is Zope Dude Number One. Jeff took over PCGI and
- kept pushing it forward through the years.
-
- o Sam Rushing worked with us at Digital Creations to make Medusa
- the publishing platform for ZServer and the concurrency of Zope2.
-
- o A subset of windows guru Mark Hammond's win32 extensions are
- bundled with win32 binary distributions of Zope.
-
- o Martijn Pieters and Brian Hooper contributed the #in reverse
- attribute.
-
- o Phillip Eby contributed the DTML 'let' tag and many
- other useful ideas, including the inspiration for the DTML
- 'call', 'with' and 'return'
- tags.
-
- o The DateTime module was based on work from Ted Horst.
-
- o Jordan Baker contributed the 'try' tag, something we've wanted
- for a long, long time.
-
- o Martijn Pieters chipped in with a safe range function.
-
- o Michael Hauser came up with the name "Zope".
-
- o Eric Kidd from Userland contributed to ZPublisher's support for
- XML-RPC.
-
- o Andrew M. Kuchling wrote the initial version of mod_pcgi, making
- him extremely cool in our book.
-
- o Oleg Broytmann has taken up the standard of mod_pcgi and moving
- it to be a really amazing thing, and ready for prime time.
-
- o Jephte CLAIN made some patches to European ZopeTime.
-
- o Thanks to Gregor Hoffleit for his work in getting Zope into the
- Debian distribution.
-
- o All the other Zopistas far and wide that stuck with us during
- the Bobo/Principia days and politely push us to make the best damn
- app server on this or any other planet.
-
- o Of course the list of credits would be quite incomplete without
- mentioning Guido van Rossum, benevolent dictator of Python and
- long-time friend of Digital Creations. Zope Power is Python
- Power.
-
- o Special thanks to Richard Stallman and the Free Software
- Foundation for their assistance and feedback on the
- GPL-compatible 2.0 version of the Zope Public License.

+ Zope 3 has been a Zope Community effort! It wouldn't exist without
+ the many fine contributions, in many forms, by many people.
+ In fact, so many people have helped out in so many important it's
+ impossible to give everybody the credit they deserve, but I'll make
+ a start.
+
+ o A good bit of the Zope 3 development has taken place in Zope 3
+ sprints.
+
+ - The earliest sprints were held at Zope Corporation. Tres Seaver
+ was instrumental in helping us figure out this format and
+ teaching me the XP process.
+
+ - Chris Wither's and NIP hosted the first European sprint in
+ London in February 2002.
+
+ - Somebody (somebody help me) hosted a workflow sprint in
+ Saarbruecken, Germany, in March 2002.
+
+ - NetAid (Josh Kutz, Nikheel Dhekne) hosted a sprint in New York
+ in March 2002.
+
+ - Bee Hive hosted a sprint in Berlin in April 2002.
+
+ - EuroPython/EuroZope hosted a large sprint in conjunction with
+ the EuroPython conference.
+
+ - ZeOmega hosted an extended development session in Bangalore.
+ We worked out a number of ideas for the (still early) through
+ the wen configuration and development environment. We moved
+ file-system synchronization forward. And we ported several
+ facilities from Zope 2.
+
+ - Infrae (Kit Blake, Martijn Faasen and others) hosted a truly
+ amazing and productive event, the Infrae Sprintathon,
+ http://www.infrae.com/sprintathon, in December 2002. I think
+ that this qualifies as the first Zope 3 Hackers Workshop. I hope
+ there will be more.
+
+ - Code Works hosted a sprint, led by Steve Alexander, in Vilnius,
+ immediately after the sprintathon.
+
+ o Steve Alexander has provided tremendous leadership, along with his
+ many other contributions, in design, code, to say nothing of moral
+ support.
+
+ o Stephan Richter help launch Zope 3 with abundant energy and
+ enthusiasm, as wrell as many software andf documentation
+ contributions.
+
+ o Shane Hathaway created some of the initial prototypes of Zope 3
+ and was an important brainstorming partner before we went "public"
+ with Zope 3. He has remained a stalwart but quite contributor,
+ despite his heavy workload at Zope Corporation.
+
+ o Python Labs: Guido van Rossum, Fred Drake, Jeremy Hylton, Tim
+ Peters, and Barry Warsaw and been crucial contributors to Zope 3
+ since it was just a bunch of stray ideas floating around
+
+ o Gary Poster has made significant contributions in a varity of
+ areas, including the object hub and event service.
+
+ o David Murray has been a constant source of well-though feedback,
+ suggestions, and ideas.
+
+ o Sidnei da Silva created the first attractive skin for Zope 3.
+
+ o Kapil Thangavelu, David Murray, Sidnei da Silva, and PythonLabs
+ made the grand renaming possible. Kapil wrote the scripts that did
+ most of the work and the team made Zope work again.
+
+ o The folks at Code works, Albertas Agejevas, Marius Gedminas, and
+ Viktorija Zaksiene and contributed major parts of Zope, especially
+ the relational database support and caching infrustructure. Much
+ Thanks to M. Carling for makin their time available.
+I know I've left out some important contributors. I've run out of
+time. Watch this space!
+Much thanks!
