Acknowledgements
Equipment and financial donations
VMware, Inc. has supplied free VMware licences to members of the wxWidgets development
team. VMware is a superb solution for people who need to access more than one operating system simultaneously. A big thank you to VMware
for supporting the project. December 2001: VMware has supplied a further 10 VMware 3.0 licences!
Metrowerks, Inc., and more specifically Greg Galanos, has
generously donated a copy of CodeWarrior Professional 4 to the project. CodeWarrior is a well-respected cross-platform
compiler for Windows, Mac, BeOS and other systems.
Thank you to Microsoft for donating a copy of Visual C++ 6.0
to help wxWidgets compile on this version of the compiler (for a Virginia Tech course).
Michael Bedward has made a donation to support the
wxWidgets 2 for Motif port.
March, 2003 -- Shiv Shankar Ramakrishnan, a Microsoft employee with wxWidgets development experience, has very generously
donated a massive amount of Microsoft software to core wxWidgets developers, which has allowed us to test wxWidgets against VC++ 7
and generally get us up-to-date with operating systems and other packages. Many many
thanks to Shiv! Some of us would still be in the dark ages without this donation.
September, 2003: thank you to Rob Chandler who has donated a license for H2Reg, a program
for integrating MS HTML Help into the Visual Studio .NET help system.

to wxWidgets.
Web, FTP and CVS hosting
A big thank you to SunSITE Denmark for hosting CVS and (in the near future) other of
our services. We are grateful to Chris Elliott at York University for hosting
our main ftp site. The amazing SourceForge is providing patch manager and bug tracker services.
Thanks to Yiorgos Adamopoulos, Cord Hockemeyer, Johan Hofvander, and Jobst Schmalenbach
for maintaining mirror sites.
Mike Lorenz of VisionX initially set up
our domain name, www.wxwidgets.org.
Developers
We would particularly like to thank the following for their contributions to wxWidgets, and the many others who have been involved in
the project over the years. Apologies for any unintentional omissions from this list.
Main authors:
- wxWidgets 2 for GTK+: Robert Roebling - Latin scholar, medic, Renaissance man
- wxWidgets 2 for Windows: Julian Smart - Multum in Parvo in Rutland
- wxWidgets 2 for Motif: Julian Smart - didn't quite mean to do that port too, oh well
- wxWidgets 2 for Mac: Stefan Csomor - keeping baby/keyboard separation optimal
- wxWidgets 1 for Xt: Markus Holzem - keeping his sanity now he's away
- wxString, wxConfig, Windows drag and drop, and loads of other great stuff without which we would
be quite stuck: the one and only Vadim Zeitlin, physicist and wxWidgets hero
- wxThread, wxSocket and multimedia classes: the deceptively young but talented Guilhem Lavaux
- wxHTML: the highly dedicated Vaclav Slavik
Major contributors:
FastPic Systems have generously contributed the ODBC classes that are
part of wxWidgets. Please see the wxWidgets manual
and your wxWidgets distribution for details.
SciTech Software, Inc., has
sponsored the development of wxMGL, a port that makes use of the wxUniversal
widgets running on SciTech's MGL portability layer. SciTech has also design the wxWidgets logo: thanks
to Chad Hammett for that.
