- In this version I have the pleasure of acknowledging:
+ Karl Fogel, the author of Open
+ Source Development with CVS published by the Coriolis
+ Open Press. Larges parts of the book are available on the web. 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. The book's
+ website 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.

- 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 Debian
+ Project. 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
+ definately, definately works.
- Somecompany 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 Richard Stallman
+ 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 rms

Translations
- Not everyone speaks English, pointers to translations are nice.
- Also your translators tend to give very important inputs.
