The development of the git-annex assistant was made possible by the generous donations of many people. I want to say "Thank You!" to each of you individually, but until I meet all 951 of you, this page will have to do. You have my most sincere thanks. --[[Joey]] (If I got your name wrong, or you don't want it publically posted here, email .) ## Major Backers These people are just inspiring in their enthusiasm and generosity to this project. * Jason Scott * strager ## Beta Testers Whole weeks of my time were made possible thanks to each of these people, and their testing is invaluable to the development of the git-annex assistant. * Jimmy Tang * David Pollak * Pater * Francois Marier * Paul Sherwood * Fred Epma * Robert Ristroph * Josh Triplett * David Haslem * AJ Ashton * Svenne Krap * Drew Hess ## Prioritizers These forward-thinking people contributed generously just to help set my priorities in which parts of the git-annex assistant were most important to develop. Paul C. Bryan, Paul Tötterman, Don Marti, Dean Thompson, Djoume, David Johnston Asokan Pichai, Anders Østhus, Dominik Wagenknecht, Charlie Fox, Yazz D. Atlas, fenchel, Erik Penninga, Richard Hartmann, Graham, Stan Yamane, Ben Skelton, Ian McEwen, asc, Paul Tagliamonte, Sherif Abouseda, Igor Támara, Anne Wind, Mesar Hameed, Brandur K. Holm Petersen, Takahiro Inoue, Kai Hendry, Stephen Youndt, Lee Roberson, Ben Strawbridge, Andrew Greenberg, Alfred Adams Andrew, Aaron De Vries, Monti Knazze, Jorge Canseco, Hamish, Mark Eichin And special thanks to Kevin McKenzie, who also gave me a login to a Mac OSX machine, which has proven invaluable. ## Other Backers Most of the success of the Kickstarter is thanks to these folks. Some of them spent significant amounts of money in the guise of getting some swag. For others, being listed here, and being crucial to making the git-annex assistant happen was reward enough. Large or small, these contributions are, literally, my bread and butter this year.

Even when I couldn't explain what I was working on. * The Hodges, for providing such a congenial place for me to live and work on these first world problems, while you're off helping people in the third world.
