+
+matplotlib was written by John Hunter and is now developed and
+maintained by a number of
+`active <http://www.ohloh.net/projects/matplotlib/contributors>`_
+developers.
+
+Special thanks to those who have made valuable contributions
+(roughly in order of first contribution by date)
+
+Jeremy O'Donoghue
+ wrote the wx backend
+
+Andrew Straw
+ provided much of the log scaling architecture, the fill command, PIL
+ support for imshow, and provided many examples
+
+Charles Twardy
+ provided the impetus code for the legend class and has made
+ countless bug reports and suggestions for improvement.
+
+Gary Ruben
+ made many enhancements to errorbar to support x and y
+ errorbar plots, and added a number of new marker types to plot.
+
+
+John Gill
+ wrote the table class and examples, helped with support for
+ auto-legend placement, and added support for legending scatter
+ plots.
+
+David Moore
+ wrote the paint backend (no longer used)
+
+Todd Miller
+ supported by `STSCI <http://www.stsci.edu>`_ contributed the TkAgg
+ backend and the numerix module, which allows matplotlib to work with
+ either numeric or numarray. He also ported image support to the
+ postscript backend, with much pain and suffering.
+
+Paul Barrett
+ supported by `STSCI <http://www.stsci.edu>`_ overhauled font
+ management to provide an improved, free-standing, platform
+ independent font manager with a WC3 compliant font finder and cache
+ mechanism and ported truetype and mathtext to PS.
+
+Perry Greenfield
+ supported by `STSCI <http://www.stsci.edu>`_ overhauled and
+ modernized the goals and priorities page, implemented an improved
+ colormap framework, and has provided many suggestions and a lot of
+ insight to the overall design and organization of matplotlib.
+
+Jared Wahlstrand
+ wrote the initial SVG backend.
+
+Steve Chaplin
+ served as the GTK maintainer and wrote the Cairo and
+ GTKCairo backends.
+
+Jim Benson
+ provided the patch to handle vertical mathttext.
+
+Gregory Lielens
+ provided the FltkAgg backend and several patches for the frontend,
+ including contributions to toolbar2, and support for log ticking
+ with alternate bases and major and minor log ticking.
+
+Darren Dale
+
+ did the work to do mathtext exponential labeling for log plots,
+ added improved support for scalar formatting, and did the lions
+ share of the `psfrag
+
<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/psfrag.html?action=/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/psfrag>`_
+ LaTeX support for postscript. He has made substantial contributions
+ to extending and maintaining the PS and Qt backends, and wrote the
+ site.cfg and matplotlib.conf build and runtime configuration
+ support. He setup the infrastructure for the sphinx documentation
+ that powers the mpl docs.
+
+Paul Mcguire
+ provided the pyparsing module on which mathtext relies, and made a
+ number of optimizations to the matplotlib mathtext grammar.
+
+
+Fernando Perez
+ has provided numerous bug reports and patches for cleaning up
+ backend imports and expanding pylab functionality, and provided
+ matplotlib support in the pylab mode for `ipython
+ <http://ipython.scipy.org>`_. He also provided the
+ :func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.matshow` command, and wrote TConfig, which
+ is the basis for the experimental traited mpl configuration.
+
+Andrew Dalke
+ of `Dalke Scientific Software <http://www.dalkescientific.com/>`_
contributed the
+ strftime formatting code to handle years earlier than 1900.
+
+Jochen Voss
+ served as PS backend maintainer and has contributed several
+ bugfixes.
+
+Nadia Dencheva
+
+ supported by `STSCI <http://www.stsci.edu>`_ provided the contouring and
+ contour labeling code.
+
+Baptiste Carvello
+ provided the key ideas in a patch for proper
+ shared axes support that underlies ganged plots and multiscale
+ plots.
+
+Jeffrey Whitaker
+ at `NOAA <http://www.boulder.noaa.gov>`_ wrote the
+ :ref:`toolkit_basemap` tookit
+
+Sigve Tjoraand, Ted Drain
+ and colleagues at the `JPL <http://www.jpl.nasa.gov>`_ collaborated
+ on the QtAgg backend and sponsored development of a number of
+ features including custom unit types, datetime support, scale free
+ ellipses, broken bar plots and more.
+
+James Amundson
+ did the initial work porting the qt backend to qt4
+
+Eric Firing
+ has contributed significantly to contouring, masked
+ array, pcolor, image and quiver support, in addition to ongoing
+ support and enhancements in performance, design and code quality in
+ most aspects of matplotlib.
+
+Daishi Harada
+ added support for "Dashed Text". See ` dashpointlabel.py
+ <examples/pylab_examples/dashpointlabel.py>`_ and
+ :class:`~matplotlib.text.TextWithDash`.
+
+Nicolas Young
+ added support for byte images to imshow, which are
+ more efficient in CPU and memory, and added support for irregularly
+ sampled images.
+
+The `brainvisa <http://brainvisa.info>`_ Orsay team and Fernando Perez
+ added Qt support to `ipython <http://ipython.scipy.org>`_ in pylab mode.
+
+
+Charlie Moad
+ contributed work to matplotlib's Cocoa support and does the binary
+ builds and releases.
+
+Jouni K. Seppaenen
+ wrote the PDF backend.
+
+Paul Kienzle
+ improved the picking infrastruture for interactive plots, and with
+ Alex Mont contributed fast rendering code for quadrilateral meshes.
+
+Michael Droettboom
+ supported by `STSCI <http://www.stsci.edu>`_ wrote the enhanced
+ mathtext support, implementing Knuth's box layout algorithms, saving
+ to file-like objects across backends, and is responsible for
+ numerous bug-fixes, much better font and unicode support, and
+ feature and performance enhancements across the matplotlib code
+ base. He also rewrote the transformation infrastructure to support
+ custom projections and scales.
