+Guido van Rossum, as well as being the creator of the Python language, is the
+original creator of IDLE. Other contributors prior to Version 0.8 include
+Mark Hammond, Jeremy Hylton, Tim Peters, and Moshe Zadka.
+
+IDLE's recent development was carried out in the SF IDLEfork project. The
+objective was to develop a version of IDLE which had an execution environment
+which could be initialized prior to each run of user code.
+
+The IDLEfork project was initiated by David Scherer, with some help from Peter
+Schneider-Kamp and Nicholas Riley. David wrote the first version of the RPC
+code and designed a fast turn-around environment for VPython. Guido developed
+the RPC code and Remote Debugger currently integrated in IDLE. Bruce Sherwood
+contributed considerable time testing and suggesting improvements.
+
+Besides David and Guido, the main developers who were active on IDLEfork
+are Stephen M. Gava, who implemented the configuration GUI, the new
+configuration system, and the About dialog, and Kurt B. Kaiser, who completed
+the integration of the RPC and remote debugger, implemented the threaded
+subprocess, and made a number of usability enhancements.
+
+Other contributors include Raymond Hettinger, Tony Lownds (Mac integration),
+Neal Norwitz (code check and clean-up), Ronald Oussoren (Mac integration),
+Noam Raphael (Code Context, Call Tips, many other patches), and Chui Tey (RPC
+integration, debugger integration and persistent breakpoints).
+
+Scott David Daniels, Tal Einat, Hernan Foffani, Christos Georgiou,
+Jim Jewett, Martin v. Löwis, Jason Orendorff, Guilherme Polo, Josh Robb,
+Nigel Rowe, Bruce Sherwood, Jeff Shute, and Weeble have submitted useful
+patches. Thanks, guys!
+
+For additional details refer to NEWS.txt and Changelog.
+
+Please contact the IDLE maintainer (kbk@shore.net) to have yourself included
+here if you are one of those we missed!
