This edition of TeXLive is edited by Sebastian Rahtz, with the major contributors being Fabrice Popineau, who has worked away unceasingly at the Win32 part of the package (especially the setup!) and contributed in many different ways with ideas, advice and code; and Staszek Wawrykiewicz, who provided great checking feedback, and co-ordinated the Polish contributions. Kaja Christiansen performed a vital role in endless recompilations on assorted Unix platforms, and Robin Laakso coordinated production for TUG. Vladimir Volovich did great work on cleaning the source and making other improvements, while Gerben Wierda did all the work for MacOSX.

We are very grateful for past and present help from

• The German-speaking TeX Users (DANTE e.V.), who provided a machine on which the master of the CD-ROM is developed and maintained; and Rainer Schöpf and Reinhard Zierke who look after it;
• The Perforce company, for providing a free copy of their excellent change management system, which we have used to manage the CD-ROM contents;
• Karl Berry, who provided the original Web2c distribution, and has continued to give invaluable advice, encouragement, and help;
• Mimi Burbank, who arranged access at the Florida State University School of Computational Science and Information Technology to a slew of different computers to compile TeX on, and acted as an essential guinea-pig whenever asked;
• Kaja Christiansen, who provided essential feedback, compilation, and documentation preparation;
• Thomas Esser, without whose marvellous teTeX package this CD-ROM would certainly not exist, and whose continual help makes it a better product;
• Michel Goossens, who co-authored the documentation;
• Eitan Gurari, whose TeX4ht was used to create the HTML version of this documentation, and who worked tirelessly to improve it at short notice;
• Art Ogawa and Pat Monohon, who coordinated releases for TUG;
• Petr Olsak, who coordinated and checked all the Czech/Slovak material very carefully;
• Olaf Weber, for his patient assembly and maintenance of Web2c;
• Graham Williams, on whose work the catalogue of packages depends.

Gerhard Wilhelms, Volker Schaa, Fabrice Popineau, Janka Chlebíková, Staszek Wawrykiewicz, Erik Frambach, and Ulrik Vieth kindly translated documentation at various times into their respective languages, checked other documentation, and provided very welcome feedback.
