It used an architectural design from Joachim that was prototyped -in his research work on International Makeindex and STIL (SGML -Transformations In Lisp). Roger continued to work on xindy until 2000, -but is not involved in xindy development any more. In these years he -especially designed and realized the current sort-rules framework. - -Having been involved as the project's supervisor from the start, -Joachim Schrod is xindy's lead maintainer since 2000. Together with -Christine Detig, he wrote the LaTeX Companion (2nd ed.) chapter on -indexing where xindy is presented. As part of that work, he designed -and realized user commands and xindy base modules. Ordrules, the basic -rule evaluation facility, is also his work. In 2009, he moved xindy to -a pure Lisp implementation, making compilation much easier and the -overall system much more portable. - Joachim also creates the `official' releases, eventually, after -some time, well, after a long time. - -Thomas Henlich wrote the make-rules package that generates xindy -sort-rules for many languages, with special support for LaTeX Internal -Character Representations (the markup that appears in *.idx files). -Martin Vermeer contributed many improvements to this package. - -Gour took over the herculian task to create a source distribution from -the shattered source parts, i.e., this current distribution form that -uses autoconf/automake and can be installed with the canonical -"./configure ; make ; make install" procedure. He also maintains the -Gentoo ebuild package of xindy. - -Jörg Sommer chimed in and improved Gour's installation process by -enabling to use an already installed CLISP. He is also the Debian -package maintainer of xindy. - -Vladimir Volovich changed xindy's compilation and install process to -fit into TeX-Live, first for TL 2008. He also created the first -Windows and Mac OS X versions that way. He is also the TeX Live -package maintainer of xindy. - -Peter Breitenlohner improved xindy's autoconf mechanism for better -integration in TeX-Live 2010 and better maintainability. - -Akira Kakuto was instrumental in getting Windows support into shape -into the hands of many people. Ulrike Fisher pushes for inclusion in -MikTeX. - -Several people contributed whole language modules or fixes for -existing modules: Claudio Beccari, Vafa Khalighi, Dohyun Kim, Kihwang -Lee, Pavel Striz, Apostolos Syropoulos. - - -Email addresses for the authors are best looked up in the mailing list -archives; for spam-protection reasons I don't want to list them here. |
