Financially, the development of git-annex 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 1500+ of you, this page will have to do. You have my most sincere thanks. --Joey

also thanks to

  • The Kickstarter team, who have unleashed much good on the world.
  • The Haskell developers, who toiled for 20 years in obscurity before most of us noticed them, and on whose giant shoulders I now stand, in awe of the view.
  • The Git developers, for obvious reasons.
  • All of git-annex's early adopters, who turned it from a personal toy project into something much more, and showed me the interest was there.
  • Rsync.net, for providing me a free account so I can make sure git-annex works well with it.
  • LeastAuthority.com, for providing me a free Tahoe-LAFS grid account, so I can test git-annex with that.
  • Yury V. Zaytsev for running the Windows autobuilder.
  • Kevin McKenzie for providing a OSX account for testing.
  • Anna and Mark, for the loan of the video camera; as well as the rest of my family, for your support. Even when I couldn't explain what I was working on.
  • And Mom, for stamping and stuffing so many thank you envelopes, and all the rhubarb pies.
