-AUTHORS OF XINDY
-================
-
-The xindy base system (CLISP plugins and kernel) was written by Roger
-Kehr, under supervision of Joachim Schrod as a student project in
-1995. 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.
