10 Many people have contributed code included in the Free Software
11 Foundation's distribution of GNU Emacs. To show our appreciation for
12 their public spirit, we list here in alphabetical order those who have
13 written substantial portions. Others too numerous to mention have
14 reported and fixed bugs, and added features to many parts of Emacs.
15 We thank them for their generosity as well.
17 This list is intended to mention every contributor of a major package or
18 feature we currently distribute; if you know of someone we have omitted,
19 please report that as a manual bug. More comprehensive information is
20 available in the @file{ChangeLog} files, summarized in the file
21 @file{etc/AUTHORS} in the distribution.
23 @c We should list here anyone who has contributed a new package,
24 @c and anyone who has made major enhancements in Emacs
25 @c that many users would notice and consider important.
26 @c Remove things that are no longer distributed.
27 @c Note this file is only used ifnottex; otherwise a shorter version in
28 @c emacs.texi is used.
