It's not at all the same as the web site, but I think it's worth noting that all contributors to the Go repository are acknowledged at https://golang.org/CONTRIBUTORS. That's not all contributors by any means. There are many people who help the Go project by answering questions, writing blog posts, running meetups, discussing issues and proposals, and in many other ways. It's hard to know how to acknowledge everybody who contributes. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
