I find it amusing that )credits only lists people as of October 2006. Can I reasonably conclude that no-one has contributed any credit-worthy contributions in the last 20 years?
I created the credits list when I discovered that Christine Sundaresan, who wrote the initial version of the Users Guide that became the backbone of the Axiom book, was nowhere mentioned since she left the Scratchpad project prior to publication. I found this professionally outrageous. Since then I have carefully tracked every contributor, great and small. Credit is the "coin of the realm" (nummus regni), the currency that for any culture most holds value. Surely in both academic and open source, the "currency" is "credit".
