 [section Acknowledgments]

 This version of Spirit is a complete rewrite of the /classic/ Spirit many
 people have been contributing to (see below). But there are a couple of people
 who already managed to help significantly during this rewrite. We would like to
 express our special acknowledgement to:

 [*Eric Niebler] for writing Boost.Proto, without which this rewrite wouldn't
 have been possible, and helping with examples, advice, and suggestions on
 how to use Boost.Proto in the best possible way.

 [*Ben Hanson] for providing us with an early version of his __lexertl__ library,
 which is proposed to be included into Boost (as Boost.Lexer). At the time
 of this writing the Boost review for this library is still pending.

 [*Francois Barel] for his silent but steady work on making and keeping Spirit
 compatible with all versions of gcc, older and newest ones. He not only
 contributed subrules to Spirit V2.1, but always keeps an eye on the small
 details which are so important to make a difference.

 [*Andreas Haberstroh] for proof reading the documentation and fixing those
 non-native-speaker-quirks we managed to introduce into the first versions of
 the documentation.

 [*Chris Hoeppler] for taking up the editorial tasks for the initial
 version of this documentation together with Andreas Haberstroh. Chris
 did a lot especially at the last minute when we are about to release.

 [*Michael Caisse] also for last minute editing work on the 2.1 release
 documentation.

 [*Tobias Schwinger] for proposing expectation points and GCC port of an
 early version.

 [*Dave Abrahams] as always, for countless advice and help on C++,
 library development, interfaces, usability and ease of use, for
 reviewing the code and providing valuable feedback and for always
 keeping us on our toes.

 [*OvermindDL] for his creative ideas on the mailing list helping to resolve
 even more difficult user problems.

 [*Carl Barron] for his early adoption and valuable feedback on the Lexer
 library forcing us to design a proper API covering all of his use cases.
 He also contributed an early version of the variadic attribute API for
 Qi.

 [*Daniel James] for improving and maintaining Quickbook, the tool we use
 for this documentation. Also, for bits and pieces here and there such
 documentation suggestions and editorial patches.

 [*Stephan Menzel] for his early adoption of Qi and Karma and his willingness
 to invest time to spot bugs which were hard to isolate. Also, for his feedback
 on the documentation.

 [*Ray Burkholder] and [*Dainis Polis] for last minute feedback on the
 documentation.

 [*Steve Brandt] for his his effort trying to put Qi and Karma to some use while
 writing a source to source language transformation tool. He made many incredible
 suggestions helping to improve the usability of both libraries.

 Special thanks to spirit-devel and spirit-general mailing lists for
 participating in the discussions, being early adopters of pre-release
 versions of Spirit2 from the very start and helping out in various tasks
 such as helping with support, bug tracking, benchmarking and testing,
 etc. The list include: [*Larry Evans], [*Richard Webb], [*Martin Wille],
 [*Dan Marsden], [*Cedric Venet], [*Allan Odgaard], [*Matthias
 Vallentin], [*Justinas V.D.], [*Darid Tromer].

 [*Joao Abecasis] for his early support and involvement in Spirit2
 development and for disturbing my peace every once in a while for a
 couple of jokes.

 The list goes on and on... if you've been mentioned thank Joel and
 Hartmut, if not, kick Joao :-)

 [heading Acknowledgements from the Spirit V1 /classic/ Documentation]

 Special thanks for working on Spirit /classic/ to:

 [*Dan Nuffer] for his work on lexers, parse trees, ASTs, XML parsers, the
 multi-pass iterator as well as administering Spirit's site, editing,
 maintaining the CVS and doing the releases plus a zillion of other chores that
 were almost taken for granted.

 [*Hartmut Kaiser] for his work on the C parser, the work on the C/C++
 preprocessor, utility parsers, the original port to Intel 5.0, various work on
 Phoenix, porting to v1.5, the meta-parsers, the grouping-parsers, extensive
 testing and painstaking attention to details.

 [*Martin Wille] who improved grammar multi thread safety, contributed the eol_p
 parser, the dynamic parsers, documentation and for taking an active role in
 almost every aspect from brainstorming and design to coding. And, as always,
 helps keep the regression tests for g++ on Linux as green as ever :-).

 [*Martijn W. Van Der Lee] our Web site administrator and for contributing the
 RFC821 parser.

 [*Giovanni Bajo] for last minute tweaks of Spirit 1.8.0 for CodeWarrior 8.3.
 Actually, I'm ashamed Giovanni was not in this list already. He's done a lot
 since Spirit 1.5, the first Boost.Spirit release. He's instrumental in the
 porting of the Spirit iterators stuff to the new Boost Iterators Library
 (version 2). He also did various bug fixes and wrote some tests here and there.

 [*Juan Carlos Arevalo-Baeza (JCAB)*] for his work on the C++ parser, the position
 iterator, ports to v1.5 and keeping the mailing list discussions alive and
 kicking.

 [*Vaclav Vesely], lots of stuff, the no\_actions directive, various patches
 fixes, the distinct parsers, the lazy parser, some phoenix tweaks and add-ons
 (e.g. new\_). Also, *Stefan Slapeta] and wife for editing Vaclav's distinct
 parser doc.

 [*Raghavendra Satish] for doing the original v1.3 port to VC++ and his work on
 Phoenix.

 [*Noah Stein] for following up and helping Ragav on the VC++ ports.

 [*Hakki Dogusan], for his original v1.0 Pascal parser.

 [*John (EBo) David] for his work on the VM and watching over my shoulder as I
 code giving the impression of distance eXtreme programming.

 [*Chris Uzdavinis] for feeding in comments and valuable suggestions as well as
 editing the documentation.

 [*Carsten Stoll], for his work on dynamic parsers.

 [*Andy Elvey] and his conifer parser.

 [*Bruce Florman], who did the original v1.0 port to VC++.

 [*Jeff Westfahl] for porting the loop parsers to v1.5 and contributing the file
 iterator.

 [*Peter Simons] for the RFC date parser example and tutorial plus helping out
 with some nitty gritty details.

 [*Markus Sch'''&ouml;'''pflin] for suggesting the end_p parser and lots of other
 nifty things and his active presence in the mailing list.

 [*Doug Gregor] for mentoring and his ability to see things that others don't.

 [*David Abrahams] for giving Joel a job that allows him to still work on Spirit,
 plus countless advice and help on C++ and specifically template
 metaprogramming.

 [*Aleksey Gurtovoy] for his MPL library from which we stole many metaprogramming
 tricks especially for less conforming compilers such as Borland and VC6/7.

 [*Gustavo Guerra] for his last minute review of Spirit and constant feedback,
 plus patches here and there (e.g. proposing the new dot behavior of the real
 numerics parsers).

 [*Nicola Musatti], [*Paul Snively], [*Alisdair Meredith] and [*Hugo Duncan] for
 testing and sending in various patches.

 [*Steve Rowe] for his splendid work on the TSTs that will soon be taken into
 Spirit.

 [*Jonathan de Halleux] for his work on actors.

 [*Angus Leeming] for last minute editing work on the 1.8.0 release
 documentation, his work on Phoenix and his active presence in the Spirit
 mailing list.

 [*Joao Abecasis] for his active presence in the Spirit mailing list, providing
 user support, participating in the discussions and so on.

 [*Guillaume Melquiond] for a last minute patch to multi_pass for 1.8.1.

 [*Peder Holt] for his porting work on Phoenix, Fusion and Spirit to VC6.

 To Joel's wife Mariel who did the graphics in this document.

 My, there's a lot in this list! And it's a continuing list. We add people to
 this list every time. We hope we did not forget anyone. If we missed
 someone you know who has helped in any way, please inform us.

 Special thanks also to people who gave feedback and valuable comments,
 particularly members of Boost and Spirit mailing lists. This includes all those
 who participated in the review:

 [*John Maddock], our review manager, [*Aleksey Gurtovoy], [*Andre Hentz],
 [*Beman Dawes], [*Carl Daniel], [*Christopher Currie], [*Dan Gohman],
 [*Dan Nuffer], [*Daryle Walker], [*David Abrahams], [*David B. Held],
 [*Dirk Gerrits], [*Douglas Gregor], [*Hartmut Kaiser], [*Iain K.Hanson],
 [*Juan Carlos Arevalo-Baeza], [*Larry Evans], [*Martin Wille],
 [*Mattias Flodin], [*Noah Stein], [*Nuno Lucas], [*Peter Dimov],
 [*Peter Simons], [*Petr Kocmid], [*Ross Smith], [*Scott Kirkwood],
 [*Steve Cleary], [*Thorsten Ottosen], [*Tom Wenisch], [*Vladimir Prus]

 Finally thanks to SourceForge for hosting the Spirit project and Boost: a C++
 community comprised of extremely talented library authors who participate in
 the discussion and peer review of well crafted C++ libraries.
