Contributors

Thanks to the following individuals who have contributed code or gave permission for their code to be used within the project (in reverse chronological order):

Ben Armstrong wrote the Syntax-to-HTML converter add-on.

Hanjo Kim wrote menu translations for Korean.

Ralgh Young added the menu translation scheme and wrote translations for Simplified Chinese.

Ciaran McCreesh and Thomas de Grenier de Latour are building Cream for Gentoo and have fixed several bugs as a result. Ciaran also wrote the smoldering inkpot color scheme.

Mike Williams wrote the Black & White color scheme, originally called print_bw.

Christoph Haas packages Cream for Debian and has assisted with system-wide installation issues.

Jean Jordaan wrote the Uniq() function we use to remove duplicate lines.

Piet Delport created the speedy line sorting routine BISort2 that we use in our Sort add-on.

Gerald Williams wrote the visually tasty ChocolateLiquor color scheme, a flavor enhancement to the Cream we've already put in Vim.

Ajit J. Thakkar wrote the Dawn color scheme, a tranquil variation of the default theme.

Dan Sharp has been very helpful assisting us to build Vim so that we can distribute Cream together with it in a single package.

Preben "Peppe" Guldberg wrote the justifiction functions we use for right and center justification of text. He also offered a string inversion algorithm on the Vim list that we use for our string inverting add-on.

Yegappan Lakshmanan authored taglist.vim which Cream uses to list all the valid functions and variables within the current file, as well as obtain function prototypes for our pop up prototype menus.

Srinath Avadhanula wrote the original version of the clever imaps.vim template script which we've modified to add a virtually unlimited number of expansions to Cream. (You might find an improved version in the Vim-LaTeX suite's CVS repository.)

Gontran Baerts wrote EasyHtml.vim, the powerful listing script that we've included for listing HTML and CSS items.

Xavier Nodet, Christian Göebel and Jean-Philippe Leboeuf assisted in assembling the French spell check and dictionary.

Patrick Schiel created the Opsplorer file explorer, a very smooth, fast and ingenious bit of code that was easily shaped for Cream due to its high quality.

Jani Nurminen created our sublime Zenburn color scheme.

Tom Regner created the Oceandeep color scheme, based on Niklas Lindström's Nightshimmer.

Meikel Brandmeyer wrote the EnhancedCommentify.vim module that we use to provide block commenting.

Jose Alberto Suarez Lopez assisted with assembling the Spanish spell check and dictionary.

Wolfgang Hommel assembled the German spell check dictionary. He also wrote all the wordlist utilities we use to create Cream dictionaries and was instrumental in propelling the project's spell check to multi-lingual flexibility and case sensitivity. He also points out blatant errors in our code, suggests useful features, and provides general input and moral support.

Hari Krishna Dara wrote the most useful multvals.vim array library Cream depends on. Equally useful is his genutils.vim library. Both libraries are well-written pieces of code that help Cream be both smarter and smoother.

Matthew Hawkins created the continues-to-grow-on-you Navajo Night color scheme based on the psychedelic experience caused by his sticky Esc key while using Navajo. ;)

Ed Ralston and Takeshi Zeniya created the equally fabulous Navajo and Night color schemes, respectively.

Dr. Charles E. "Dr. Chip" Campbell, Jr. wrote the powerful spell checking module (originally called "engspchk.vim") which provided our initial spell check engine from which the current architecture is derived.

Benji Fisher has micro-fragments of code spread throughout Cream. Little of it is explicitly sourced to him, but he is one of the most helpful voices on the Vim mailing lists and seems to never tire of repeating helpful pointers for newbies and those of us who are too impatient to go groking through the help. :)

Yasuhiro Matsumoto's calendar.vim adds a clever and tidy little useful calendar extension.

Rajesh Kallingal made available the most recent used file menu which appears at the bottom of the File menu. It's original name is MruMenu.vim, and not any of the other similarly named modules without the same usefulness as this original.

Anthony Kruize and Wolfram Esser allowed us to include extended versions of their fabulous bookmarking functions ShowMarks.vim and vim_wok_visualcpp01.vim. Combined, these give us everything Cream needs in bookmarking: unnamed, visible, and quick.

And finally...

Bram Moolenaar, Vim's author, who wrote a terrific application, who timely responds to emails, who while gifted and skilled with programming, is still willing to devote his time and voice to the worthy cause of the Kibaale Children's Centre.
