Authors of Eggdrop

This file documents the developers, major contributors, and groups who've


developed and maintained Eggdrop. A full list of contributors can be found


in the file THANKS. Contributor information for specific versions of Eggdrop


can be found in the corresponding doc/Changes files.


Eggdrop was originally written by Robey Pointer. Versions 0.6 through 1.0o


and 1.1alpha-lincoln through 1.1alpha-grant were developed by Robey from


December 1993 through February 1997. As of version 1.0n, Robey relicensed


Eggdrop under the GNU GPL. Robey's relicensing also allows for earlier


versions of Eggdrop to be licensed under the GNU GPL. After version


1.1alpha-grant, Robey gave up his position as Eggdrop's maintainer.


Version 1.0p was a maintenance release put together by Wade in March 1997


made from Eggdrop community patches. Later 1.0 series bugfix and maintenance


releases were made by other Eggdrop community members.


Eggdrop 1.1 development continued after 1.1alpha-grant with significant


contributions from many Eggdrop community members. While it would be


impossible to include a full list of contributors for each version in this


file, below is a list of some of the major contributors and core Eggdrop


community during 1.1alpha and 1.1.x:


  Beldin, ButchBub, cmwagner, dk, dtM, EraseMe, Ernst, Lefty, LuckyStar,


  poptix, Robey, Wade, Wild


Around version 1.1.1, Beldin took on Robey's former role of lead developer


and maintainer. Beldin and many other developers later regrouped as


eggdrop.org and developed Eggdrop up through version 1.3.23.


Below is a partial list of major contributors and core Eggdrop community


members during 1.2 and 1.3 up through version 1.3.23:


  Beldin, BoGuS, ButchBub, Daklop, dk, dtM, easton, Ernst, KingKurly, Kirk,


  Melvan, |mmortal, NC, poptix, Q, Raistlin, smok, tdmarti, TheGhost, vod,


  wheely, zarni


After version 1.3.23, Beldin decided to discontinue development of the 1.3.x


branch and instead focus solely on 'Eggdrop2' development.


Unfortunately, 'Eggdrop2' took more resources to compile and run than 1.3.x.


Most users also found it difficult and sometimes impossible to compile


because it lacked the portability of previous versions due to having been


written in C++ instead of C. Because of its limitations, users continued to


favor the more established 1.3.x codebase.


After Beldin and a number of other developers publicly stated their intent


to discontinue all development of 1.3.x after 1.3.23, a new development


group began to form made up of other Eggdrop community members. This group


eventually organized as eggheads.org.


Because of the large number of outstanding bugs in 1.3.23 and community


interest in continuing 1.3.x development, a new version was created from the


numerous patches that had piled up after work on 1.3.x had stopped. This new


version was released as 1.3.24i. The 'i' stood for independent and was


intended to show that this release was independent of the "official"


development group. The 'i' was dropped for the 1.3.25 and later releases.


Below is a list of developers and contributors for version 1.3.24i released


by eggheads.org on March 5, 1999:


  arthur2, Bass, Beige, Crotale, Daemus, deadgrrrl, Dude, guppy, Lobo^Loco,


  Niggurath, paralyse, Shayne, slennox, TheUnknown, TiTi, Tothwolf, vod,


  Whicked


Eggdrop development after 1.3.24i has continued under eggheads.org up through


versions 1.4.x, 1.5.x and currently 1.6.x.


Below are lists of major contributors and core Eggdrop community members for


versions 1.3.24i-1.3.28, 1.4.x, 1.5.x and 1.6.x.


1.3.24i-1.3.28:


  arthur2, Crotale, Cybah, Daemus, drummer, dw, Eule, Fabian, guppy, Jason


  Ede, John`, Michael, Mixter, poptix, Tothwolf


1.4:


  arthur2, drummer, dw, Eugene, Eule, Fabian, guppy, Jason Ede, Lucas, rtc,


  Sup, toot, Tothwolf, Wiktor


1.5:


  drummer, Eule, Fabian, G`Quann, guppy, Jason Ede, Sup, Tothwolf, Wiktor


1.6:


  Abraham, BarkerJr, bryand, darko``, drummer, dw, Eugene, Eule, Fabian,


  guppy, ITE, Kirben, Noyga, poptix, PPSlim, pseudo, simple, [sL], stdarg,


  Sup, SuperS, Sven, TaKeDa, thommey, Tothwolf, Wcc, Wiktor, Wingman
