| Developer Log | 
 | ============= | 
 |  | 
 | This file is a running log of developers given permissions on SourceForge. | 
 |  | 
 | The purpose is to provide some institutional memory of who was given access | 
 | and why. | 
 |  | 
 | The first entry starts in April 2005.  In keeping with the style of | 
 | Misc/NEWS, newer entries should be added to the top.  Any markup should | 
 | be in the form of ReST.  Entries should include the initials of the | 
 | project admin who made the change or granted access.  Feel free to revise | 
 | the format to accommodate documentation needs as they arise. |
