Over the years many users have contributed to newLISP with suggestions,
|
|
critiques and code. They were crucial in making newLISP what it is today.
|
|
I want to thank everybody and encourage them to continue
|
|
to contribute with code and comments. My special thanks go to
|
|
(in historical order):
|
|
|
|
Steve Adams

|
Did the first CYGWIN port and the new native Win32 ports, suggested many
|
|
other features and functions found today in newLISP.
|
|
|
|
Stellan Borg
|
|
Some of the string functions where suggested by him, discovered and
|
|
prompted the fixing of many shortcomings in newLISP, built first
|
|
commercial product (the knowledge manager SUCCEED tm) based on newLISP.
|
|
|
|
Lars Hard

|
|
|
|
Michael and Melissa Michaels, http://www.neglook.com

|
for a complete review of the Users Manual and evangelizing efforts for newLISP
|
|
and other good ideas, i.e. defaults in argument lists: (define (foo x (y 1)) ...)

|
|
released in 9.3 and has released a series of training videos.

|
Shigeru Kobayashi contributed newLISP modules for Emacs, Curl and fixed various
|
|

Phillip Hazel
|
|
wrote the PCRE (Perl Regular Expressions) library, it is an essential
|
|
part of newLISP and many other scripting languages and Open Source applications
|
|
(i.e. Apache)
|
|
|
|
Jorge Acereda and Peter O'Gorman
|
|
wrote dyna link library functions for OSX which are used in this project,
|
|
their files osx-dlfcn.c/.h were necessary on pre 10.3 versions of MacOSX
|
|
(functionality/code? now part of OS X since 10.3)
|
|
|
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|
from the cURL project, newLISP adapted the base64 encoding and decoding routines
|
|
|
|
Thomas Niemannn
|
|
wrote a red-black binary tree algorithm used in newLISP with modifications.
|
|
|
|
Sourceforge.net
|
|
Has helped newLISP and many other Open Source projects to get more visibility,
|
|
the newLISP project enjoys their compile farm to port newLISP to other platforms
|
|
|
|
Richard M. Stallman
|
|
GCC and many other GNU - tools make it possible to write platform independent
|
|
software for many OSs and hardware platforms. The GNU Public License is the
|
|
strongest force in the open source movement from which newLISP has benefited.
|
|
|
|
My apologies to anybody, who has been forgotten on this list (let me know).
