Thanks
I wish to thank a number of people and organisations who have made
Emdros the success it is today. They are:
Dr. Crist-Jan Doedens: He wrote the PhD
thesis on which Emdros is based.
Westminster Hebrew Institute, Westminster Theological
Seminary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Emdros development is
made possible in part by the Westminster Hebrew Institute's
granting me access to some seriously powerful hardware for research
and development. WHI is a research unit of Westminster Theological Seminary.
Werkgroep Informatica, Faculty of Theology, Vrije
Universiteit, Amsterdam: For providing the motivation for
writing Emdros in the first place. Their WI Hebrew database
continues to be my main source of inspiration for development of
Emdros.
Prof. Dr. Eep Talstra: He is the man
behind the WI Hebrew database, and continues to support Emdros
development by his kindness, his encouragement, and his
generosity. He also grants me access to Sun hardware, thereby
making it a supported platform.
Hendrik Jan Bosman: He provides much
inspiration, has written many a bugreport, and even
contributes source code.
Constantijn Sikkel: He provides much
insight, both on Emdros and on the Werkgroep Informatica
Hebrew database, and is an astute user who helps drive Emdros
development.
Chris Wilson: For writing bugreports and
contributing sourcecode.
Prof. Dr. Nicolai Winther-Nielsen: For being
a big source of inspiration, and for putting me in touch with most
of the above people.
Dr. Christopher J. Samuel: For being a
source of encouragement, for submitting feature-requests, for
contributing knowledge of Hebrew Unicode, and for contributing a
TECkit mapping for Hebrew.
Dr. D. Richard Hipp: Dr. Hipp of HWACI, Inc. has written the
excellent SQLite engine, which
Emdros supports as a backend.
Philip Hazel: He has written the PCRE library, which Emdros uses.
MySQL AB: Emdros supports MySQL as a backend.
PostgreSQL, Inc: Emdros supports PostgreSQL as a backend.
Thanks to all.
