Hi,
I was looking at the manual preface, and it says, quote:
The Guile reference and tutorial manuals were written and edited
largely by Mark Galassi and Jim Blandy. In particular, Jim wrote
the original tutorial on Guile's data representation and the C API
for accessing Guile objects.
But that sounds old. I cloned git://git.lwn.net/gitdm.git, and now we
see that:
~/src/guile$ git log -p -M doc | ../gitdm/gitdm -c /dev/null

Assuming that changed lines is the real measure of committing to the
manual, we can fairly say that Neil wrote the manual, with important
contributions from Marius on down. If we place the cutoff at 1% (and
that's totally arbitrary), we can mention 8 more names, which is plenty
for a preface, no?
But where is Mark Galassi in all of that, I wonder...
Andy
