Main Developers:
----------------
Robin Clark <rclark@hmc.edu> wrote the original X-Accountant in Motif 
   as a school project, taking it to version 0.9 by October 1997.

Linas Vepstas <linas@linas.org> liked what he saw: the GUI was slick,
   the code was documented and well structured, and it was all GPL'ed.  
   And so he re-wrote it: adding cell-widgets to XbaeMatrix, so that 
   the combobox and arrows would make an even slicker GUI, rewrote the 
   X-Accountant internals to add double-entry, an account hierarchy,
   split out a transaction mini-engine, add support for stocks, and spiff
   up the help menus.  This was version 1.0 as of January 1998.  Since
   then, for version 1.1, the engine was expanded & refined, and the 
   register window code completely redesigned and made mostly 
   Motif-(and GUI-)independent.  Did some prototype OFX work.

Jeremy Collins <jcollins@gnucash.org> publicized the GnoMoney project 
   widely and broadly, and then changed its name to GnuCash.  Jeremy
   created the gnucash.org web site, registered the domain, got the 
   initial GTK/gnome code working.

Rob Browning <rlb@cs.utexas.edu> abused everyone for not using perl,
   and then added guile/scheme support. Rob maintains the build 
   infrastructure, is handling the whole guile/perl extension language 
   thing, and is dealing with configuration & configurability.

Dave Peticolas <dave@krondo.com> hacks obsessively on
   GnuCash. But he can stop anytime he wants to. Really.

Bill Gribble <grib@billgribble.com> works magic. If your checks print
   wrong, blame him. If you don't like the amount printed on your
   checks, blame him. If you don't like your your bank balances,
   your bank, or your life, blame him too.
