-Paul Davis (Philadelphia, PA) was and is the primary author of Ardour.
+*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
 
-Taybin Rutkin (New York, NY) has contributed lots of code, and was
-particularly responsible for the use of XML in the state persistence
-aspect of the program. He also (re)wrote the soundfile library code to
-use LRDF. In addition he was responsible for the integration of the
-gettext system and the compose() templates that make Ardour's
-internationalization possible. He has consistently made suggestions
-that resulted in significantly more elegant code and design. Taybin
-also set up and oversees the Mantis bug reporting system used by all
-of us, and tends to take on "infrastructure" issues such as the switch
-to SCons as the build system.

-Jesse Chappell (Washington, DC) keeps on making major contributions to
-Ardour. It almost seems pointless to list the things he has worked on
-because there is so much of it. They include being able to handle
-multichannel tracks, a major change in the program's design and
-capabilities, and many additions/improvements to the GTK GUI,
-including mouse zoom mode and the route params editor. Jesse was the
-first person to just "walk in" and understand the Ardour codebase.

-Marcus Andersson (Karlstad, Sweden) contributed a number of useful
-patches and worked on the dB-related issues in the gain stages and
-metering, other numeric computations, and much useful debugging, bug
-reporting and analysis.
-
-Jeremy Hall (Sterling, VA) contributed several patches and worked
-intensively on ksi_ardour, the keystroke-based-interface to libardour
-designed for sight-impaired and GUI-averse users.
-
-Steve Harris (Southampton, UK) contributed code to handle speed-based
-interpolation, an area I did not want to get my head around, as well
-as dithering, panning, metering and other DSP-centric issues.  He also
-wrote the LRDF library used by Ardour's soundfile library code, not to
-mention dozens of LADSPA plugins that make Ardour a genuinely useful
-tool.
-
-Tim Mayberry (Brisbane, Australia) did lots and lots and lots of work
-on mouse-driven editing.
-
-Nick Mainsbridge <beatroot@optushome.com.au> is responsible for many
-improvements to the rulers, and several other tweaks. 
-
-Colin Law wrote the code that supports Ardour's integration with
-the CMT Animatics engine. He was also very involved in refactoring the
-GUI code design to support different kinds of tracks, thus laying the
-groundwork for extending ardour's domain to include MIDI and video.
-
-Gerard van Dongen (Rotterdam, Netherlands) has done a set of scattered
-but critical work with a vague focus on the mouse. He has made some
-particularly important fixes to the incredibly hairy code that draws
-automation curves. Gerard also helped out with a workshop on Ardour
-held at the Dutch Electronic Arts Festival, Rotterdam, in November
-2004.
-
-Sampo Savolainen became a major contributor of minor patches as Paul
-began working full time for a while. He fixed numerous bugs, some on
-mantis and some not, fairly continuously for several months. He then
-moved on to write SSE assembler routines to handle the CPU-hungry
-metering and mixing routines.
-
-Brian Ahr contributed many small fixes for ardour 2.0.
-
-Smaller (but not necessarily minor) patches were received from the
-following people:
-
-  Mark Stewart
-  Sam Chessman (Reston, VA)
-  Jack O'Quin (Austin, TX)
-  Matt Krai
-  Ben Bell
-  Thomas Charbonnel (Lyon, France)
-  Robert Jordens
-  Christopher George
-  Rob Holland
-  Joshua Leachman
-  Per Sigmond
-  Nimal Ratnayake
