| <h2>Contributors</h2> |
| <p> |
| There has been numerous contributors to the Polygene/Zest/Qi4j project over the years, and with risk of missing someone, |
| we try to maintain this list to show our appreciation of these contributions. |
| </p> |
| <h3>Rickard Öberg</h3> |
| <p> |
| Rickard requires special mention, as a majority of the Core runtime implementation is written by him, |
| and done so more than once (3 or 4 total re-writes) as our understanding for the problem space has improved. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Rickard's achievements here and elsewhere (JBoss, XDoclet, Struts2), can not be understated. This project |
| wouldn't exist without his spearheading insights and innovative thinking. Many of the core concepts, Mixins, |
| Concerns and Constraints in particular, existed in his tool box long before Qi4j was formed. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Rickard has moved on, working at Neo Technologies, helping out on the Neo4j project. But we are eternally |
| grateful for his efforts here, and hope to see him come back one day in the future. |
| </p> |
| <h3>Others</h3> |

| The list below includes all past and present contributors to the Polygene/Zest/Qi4j project. There |
| might be omissions, and that is purely a mistake. So if you find anyone, incl yourself, |
