 R would not be what it is today without the invaluable help of these
 people outside of the (former and current) R Core team, who
 contributed by donating code, bug fixes and documentation:

 Trapletti, Terry Therneau, Rolf Turner, Bill Venables, Gregory
 R. Warnes, Andreas Weingessel, Morten Welinder, James Wettenhall,
 Simon Wood, and Achim Zeileis.

 Others have written code that has been adopted by R and is
 acknowledged in the code files, including

 J. D. Beasley, David J. Best, Richard Brent, Kevin Buhr, Michael
 A. Covington, Bill Cleveland, Robert Cleveland,, G. W. Cran,
 C. G. Ding, Ulrich Drepper, Paul Eggert, J. O. Evans, David M. Gay,
 H. Frick, G. W. Hill, Richard H. Jones, Eric Grosse, Shelby Haberman,
 Bruno Haible, John Hartigan, Andrew Harvey, Trevor Hastie, Min Long
 Lam, George Marsaglia, K. J. Martin, Gordon Matzigkeit,
 C. R. Mckenzie, Jean McRae, Cyrus Mehta, Fionn Murtagh, John C. Nash,
 Finbarr O'Sullivan, R. E. Odeh, William Patefield, Nitin Patel, Alan
 Richardson, D. E. Roberts, Patrick Royston, Russell Lenth, Ming-Jen
 Shyu, Richard C. Singleton, S. G. Springer, Supoj Sutanthavibul, Irma
 Terpenning, G. E. Thomas, Rob Tibshirani, Wai Wan Tsang, Berwin
 Turlach, Gary V. Vaughan, Michael Wichura, Jingbo Wang, M. A. Wong,
 and the Free Software Foundation (for autoconf code and utilities).
 See also files under src/extras.

 Many more, too numerous to mention here, have contributed by sending bug
 reports and suggesting various improvements.

 Simon Davies whilst at the University of Auckland wrote the original
 version of glm().

 Julian Harris and Wing Kwong (Tiki) Wan whilst at the University of
 Auckland assisted Ross Ihaka with the original Macintosh port.

 R was inspired by the S environment which has been principally
 developed by John Chambers, with substantial input from Douglas Bates,
 Rick Becker, Bill Cleveland, Trevor Hastie, Daryl Pregibon and
 Allan Wilks.

 A special debt is owed to John Chambers who has graciously contributed
 advice and encouragement in the early days of R and later became a
 member of the core team.

 Stefano Iacus (up to 2014, a former member of R Core) and Simon
 Urbanek developed the macOS port, including the R.app GUI, toolchains
 and packaging.

 The Windows port was originally developed by Guido Masarotto (for a
 while a member of R Core) and Brian Ripley, then further by Duncan
 Murdoch (a former member of R Core) and then Jeroen Ooms (base) and
 Uwe Ligges (packages).  Tomas Kalibera is the current main developer
 of the Windows port and provides assistance with package porting.

 Tomas Kalibera's work has been sponsored by Jan Vitek and funded by
 his European Research Council grant "Evolving Language Ecosystems
 (ELE)".

 Computing support (including hardware, hosting and infrastructure) has
 been provided/funded by the R Foundation, employers of R-Core members
 (notably WU Wien, ETH Zurich, U Oxford and U Iowa) and by Northeastern
 University and the University of Kent.

 Distributions of R contain the recommended packages, whose
 authors/contributors are listed in their DESCRIPTION files.
