Developer Log

=============

This file is a running log of developers given permissions on SourceForge.

The purpose is to provide some institutional memory of who was given access

and why.

The first entry starts in April 2005.  In keeping with the style of

Misc/NEWS, newer entries should be added to the top.  Any markup should

be in the form of ReST.  Entries should include the initials of the

project admin who made the change or granted access.  Feel free to revise

the format to accommodate documentation needs as they arise.
