I noticed that contributors.html on the website could be
improved. Currently it says:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<p>This page lists and thanks the people which contributed and/or currently
contribute to PSPP.</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Ben Pfaff</b> wrote most of the program and the manual.</li>
<li><b>John Williams</b> originally wrote the T-TEST procedure, which was
subsequently re-written by John Darrington</li>
<li><b>John Darrington</b> wrote the T-TEST ONEWAY and EXAMINE procedures,
implemented support for long variable names and made numerous revisions to
other modules.</li>
<li><b>Michael Kiefte</b> did bugfixes and other enhancements.</li>
<li><b>Patrick Kobly</b> did bugfixes and other enhancements.</li>
<li><b>Patrick Brunier</b> maintains the PSPP website.</li>
<li><b>Jason Stover</b> contributed statistical and numerical
functionality, including lib/gslextras. Jason is also an
important contributor to libgsl used by PSPP.</li>
</ul>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to revise it to say the following. Rationale:
- I don't want to claim to have written "most" of PSPP
anymore. I did write the initial version.
- I want to list current contributors before people who
have disappeared.
- I want to make sure that jmd gets proper credit for
T-TEST.
- Add link to GSL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<p>We wish to thank current active contributors to PSPP:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Ben Pfaff</b> wrote the initial program and manual and
continues to contribute.</li>
<li><b>John Darrington</b> wrote the T-TEST, ONEWAY, and EXAMINE
procedures, implemented support for long variable names, and made
numerous revisions to other modules.</li>
<li><b>Jason Stover</b> contributed statistical and numerical
functionality, including lib/gslextras. Jason is also an
important contributor to <a href="/software/gsl">GSL</a>, used
by PSPP.</li>
<li><b>Patrick Brunier</b> maintains the PSPP website.</li>
</ul>
<p>We also thank past contributors:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>John Williams</b> wrote an initial draft of the T-TEST
procedure.</li>
<li><b>Michael Kiefte</b> contributed bug fixes and other enhancements.</li>
<li><b>Patrick Kobly</b> contributed bug fixes and other enhancements.</li>
</ul>
