# $Id: CREDITS 17150 2007-02-22 18:47:41Z pmichaud $

	Following in the steps of other open source projects that
	eventually take over the world, here is the partial list
	of people who have contributed to Parrot and its supporting
	works.  It is sorted by name and formatted to allow easy
	grepping and beautification by scripts.
	The fields are: name (N), email (E), web-address (W),
	description (D) and snail-mail address (S).

        Thanks,

		The Parrot Team
		PS: Yes, this looks remarkably like the Linux CREDITS format
