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.
