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!

* Russel Adams came up with the idea for drawers.
* Thomas Baumann wrote `org-bbdb.el' and `org-mhe.el'.
* Christophe Bataillon created the great unicorn logo that we use on
the Org-mode website.
* Alex Bochannek provided a patch for rounding timestamps.
* Jan Böcker wrote `org-docview.el'.
* Brad Bozarth showed how to pull RSS feed data into Org-mode files.
* Tom Breton wrote `org-choose.el'.
* Charles Cave's suggestion sparked the implementation of templates
for Remember, which are now templates for capture.
* Pavel Chalmoviansky influenced the agenda treatment of items with
specified time.
* Gregory Chernov patched support for Lisp forms into table
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.

around a match in a hidden outline tree.

* Kai Grossjohann pointed out key-binding conflicts with other
packages.
* Bernt Hansen has driven much of the support for auto-repeating
tasks, task state change logging, and the clocktable. His clear
explanations have been critical when we started to adopt the Git
version control system.

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

folded entries, and column view for properties.

* Tokuya Kameshima wrote `org-wl.el' and `org-mew.el'.
* Shidai Liu (Leo) asked for embedded LaTeX and tested it. He also
provided frequent feedback and some patches.
