40 First, many thanks to the great group of developers who dove in right
41 from the beginning and have contributed the code and ideas to make
42 &SCons; a success: Chad Austin, Charles Crain, Steve Leblanc, and
43 Anthony Roach. Thanks also to those on the scons-devel mailing list
44 who have contributed greatly to the discussion, notably including
45 David Abrahams, Trent Mick, and Steven Shaw.
51 &SCons; would not exist today without the pioneering work of Bob
52 Sidebotham on the original &Cons; tool, and without Greg Wilson's
53 having started the Software Carpentry contest.
59 Thanks also to Peter Miller for: Aegis; the testing discipline that it
60 enforces, without which creating a stable but flexible tool would be
61 impossible; the "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" paper which led me
62 to experiment with &Cons; in the first place.
