<para>
- In this version I have the pleasure of acknowledging:
+ <emphasis>Karl Fogel</emphasis>, the author of <emphasis>Open
+ Source Development with CVS</emphasis> published by the Coriolis
+ Open Press. Larges parts of the book are available <ulink
+ url="http://cvsbook.red-bean.com">on the web</ulink>. 225 pages of
+ the book are available under the GPL and constitute the best
+ tutorial on CVS I have ever seen. The rest of the book covers,
+ "the challenges and philosophical issues inherent in running an
+ Open Source project using CVS." The book does a good job of
+ covering some of the subjects brought up in this HOWTO and much
+ more. <ulink url="http://cvsbook.red-bean.com">The book's
+ website</ulink> has information on ordering the book and provides
+ several translations of the chapters on CVS. I you are seriously
+ interested in running a Free Software project, you want this book.

- <emphasis>Please scramble the addresses so email harvesters

+ Also providing support and material, and inspiration for this
+ HOWTO is Eric S. Raymond for his prolific, consitent, and
+ carefully crafted arguments, to Lawrence Lessig for reminding me
+ of the importance of Free Software and to every user and developer
+ involved with the <ulink url="http://www.debian.org">Debian
+ Project</ulink>. The project has provided me with a home, a place
+ to practice Free Software advocacy and to make a difference, a
+ place to learn from those how have been involved with the movement
+ much longer than I, and an proof of a Free Software project that
+ <emphasis>definately, definately works</emphasis>.

<para>
- <emphasis>Somecompany</emphasis> is acknowledged for sending me
- documentation on their gizmos as well as permission to quote from
- the material. These quotes have been approved before appearing
- here and will be clearly labeled.
+ Above all, I want to thank <emphasis>Richard Stallman</emphasis>
+ for his work at the Free Software Foundation and for never giving
+ up. Stallman provided the philosphical basis that attracts me to
+ Free Software and that drives me towards writing a document to
+ make sure it succeeds. RMS can always be emailed at <email>rms

<title>Translations</title>
<para>
- Not everyone speaks English, pointers to translations are nice.
- Also your translators tend to give very important inputs.
+ I know that not everyone speaks English. Translations are nice and
+ I'd love for this HOWTO to gain the kind of international reach
+ afforded by a translated version.
