The PyMOL Team:

NOTE: this list has not been updated since Fall 2003.  Since then, the
PyMOL effort has grown to such an extent that it is no longer
practical to recognize everyone individually.  Fortunately, a public
record of participation exists and can be appreciated on the internet,
and especially via the PyMOL mailing list archives.  Suffice it to say
that the PyMOL user community now numbers well into the thousands and
includes scientists, students, and educators worldwide, spread
throughout academia and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical
industries.  Though Schrodinger, LLC specifically supports and
maintains the PyMOL code base, the project can only continue to
succeed through the sponsorship and participation of the broader
community.

   See the AUTHORS file for additional authors.

   Founder and Principal Author:

      Warren L. DeLano 

   Major Authors (5000+ lines of code):

      Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve (SGLite Module -- inactivated as of 2008)
   
   Minor Authors (500+ lines of code):

      Scott Dixon (Metaphorics CEX support)
      Filipe Maia (Slice Objects)

   Other Contributors: These are the people who have gone out of
      their way to help the project with their ideas, actions, 
      advice, hardware donations, testing, information, sponsorship,
