29 <p><b>Dan Nuffer
</b> for his work on lexers, parse trees, ASTs, XML parsers, the
30 multi-pass iterator as well as administering Spirit's site, editing, maintaining
31 the CVS and doing the releases plus a zillion of other chores that were almost
32 taken for granted.
</p>
33 <p><b>Hartmut Kaiser
</b> for his work on the C parser, the work on the C/C++ preprocessor,
34 utility parsers, the original port to Intel
5.0, various work on Phoenix, porting
35 to v1.5, the meta-parsers, the grouping-parsers, extensive testing and painstaking
36 attention to details.
</p>
37 <p><b>Martin Wille
</b> who improved grammar multi thread safety, contributed the
38 eol_p parser, the dynamic parsers, documentation and for taking an active role
39 in almost every aspect from brainstorming and design to coding. And, as always, helps keep the regression tests for g++ on Linux as green as ever :-).
</p>

41 the RFC821 parser

</b> for last minute tweaks of Spirit
1.8.0 for CodeWarrior
43 8.3. Actually, I'm ashamed Giovanni was not in this list already. He's done
44 a lot since Spirit
1.5, the first Boost.Spirit release. He's instrumental in
45 the porting of the Spirit iterators stuff to the new Boost Iterators Library
46 (version
2). He also did various bug fixes and wrote some tests here and there.

49 position iterator, ports to v1.5 and keeping the mailing list discussions alive
51 <p><strong>Vaclav Vesely,
</strong>lots of stuff, the no_actions directive, various patches fixes, the distinct parsers, the lazy parser, some phoenix tweaks and add-ons (e.g.
<tt>new_
