5. Contributions<br />
Thanks to all the friends who helped (or tried to) and to my husband; your encouraging words made this work<br />
possible. Thanks to all the people who submitted bug reports, examples and remarks - among many, many<br />
others:<br />
• Hans Bol, one of the groupies<br />
• Mike Sim, remarks on style<br />
• Dan Richter, for array examples<br />
• Gerg Ferguson, for ideas on the title<br />
• Mendel Leo Cooper, for making room<br />
• #linux.be, for keeping my feet on the ground<br />
• Frank Wang, for his detailed remarks on all the things I did wrong ;-)<br />
Special thanks to Tabatha Marshall, who volunteered to do a complete review and spell and grammar check.<br />
We make a great team: she works when I sleep. And vice versa ;-)<br />
