Outline mode. I was trying to organize my notes and projects, and using

Emacs seemed to be the natural way to go. However, having to remember eleven

+@section From Bastien
|
|
|

|
|
|
+I (Bastien) have been maintaining Org since January 2010. This appendix
|
|
|
+would not be complete without adding a few more acknowledgements and thanks
|
|
|
+to Carsten's ones above.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I am first grateful to Carsten for his trust while handing me over the
|
|
|
+maintainership of Org. His support as been great since day one of this new
|
|
|
+adventure, and it helped a lot.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+When I took over maintainership, I knew I would have to make Org more
|
|
|
+collaborative than ever, as I would have to rely on people that are more
|
|
|
+knowledgeable than I am on many parts of the code. Here is a list of the
|
|
|
+persons I could rely on, they should really be considered co-maintainers,
|
|
|
+either of the code or the community:
|
|

|
|
|
+@item Eric Schulte
|
|
|
+Eric is maintaining the Babel parts of Org. His reactivity here kept me away
|
|
|
+from worrying about possible bugs here and let me focus on other parts.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+@item Nicolas Goaziou
|
|
|
+Nicolas is maintaining the consistency of the deepest parts of Org. His work
|
|
|
+on @file{org-element.el} and @file{org-export.el} has been outstanding, and
|
|
|
+opened the doors for many new ideas and features.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+@item Jambunathan K
|
|
|
+Jambunathan contributed the ODT exporter, definitly a killer feature of
|
|
|
+Org mode. He also contributed the new HTML exporter, which is another core
|
|
|
+feature of Org. Here too, I knew I could rely on him to fix bugs in these
|
|
|
+areas and to patiently explain the users what was the problems and solutions.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+@item Achim Gratz
|
|
|
+Achim rewrote the building process of Org, turning some @emph{ad hoc} tools
|
|
|
+into a flexible and conceptually clean process. He patiently coped with the
|
|
|
+many hicups that such a change can create for users.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+@item Nick Dokos
|
|
|
+The Org mode mailing list would not be such a nice place without Nick, who
|
|
|
+patiently helped users so many times. It is impossible to overestimate such
|
|
|
+a great help, and the list would not be so active without him.
|
|
|
+@end table
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I received support from so many users that it is clearly impossible to be
|
|
|
+fair when shortlisting a few of them -- but Org's history would not be
|
|
|
+complete if the ones above were not mentioned in this manual.
