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]]

## 2012-2013

<a name="kickstarter">
The git-annex assistant was [crowd funded on Kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joeyh/git-annex-assistant-like-dropbox-but-with-your-own/).

### Major Backers

These people are just inspiring in their enthusiasm and generosity to this
project.

* Jason Scott
* strager

### Beta Testers

Whole weeks of my time were made possible thanks to each of these
people, and their testing is invaluable to the development of
the git-annex assistant.

* Jimmy Tang
* David Pollak
* Pater
* Francois Marier
* Paul Sherwood
* Fred Epma
* Robert Ristroph
* Josh Triplett
* David Haslem
* AJ Ashton
* Svenne Krap
* Drew Hess
* Peter van Westen

### Prioritizers

These forward-thinking people contributed generously just to help
set my priorities in which parts of the git-annex assistant were most
important to develop.

Paul C. Bryan, Paul Tötterman, Don Marti, Dean Thompson, Djoume, David Johnston
Asokan Pichai, Anders Østhus, Dominik Wagenknecht, Charlie Fox, Yazz D. Atlas,
fenchel, Erik Penninga, Richard Hartmann, Graham, Stan Yamane, Ben Skelton,
Ian McEwen, asc, Paul Tagliamonte, Sherif Abouseda, Igor Támara, Anne Wind,
Mesar Hameed, Brandur K. Holm Petersen, Takahiro Inoue, Kai Hendry,
Stephen Youndt, Lee Roberson, Ben Strawbridge, Andrew Greenberg, Alfred Adams
Andrew, Aaron De Vries, Monti Knazze, Jorge Canseco, Hamish, Mark Eichin,
Sherif Abouseda, Ben Strawbridge, chee rabbits, Pedro Côrte-Real

And special thanks to Kevin McKenzie, who also gave me a login to a Mac OSX
machine, which has proven invaluable, Jimmy Tang who has helped
with Mac OSX autobuilding and packaging, and Yury V. Zaytsev who
provides the Windows autobuilder.

### Other Backers

Most of the success of the Kickstarter is thanks to these folks. Some of
them spent significant amounts of money in the guise of getting some
swag. For others, being listed here, and being crucial to making the 
git-annex assistant happen was reward enough. Large or small, these
contributions were, literally, my bread and butter this year.

### 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, and back up the git-annex assistant
  screencasts.
* 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.
* The Hodges, for providing such a congenial place for me to live and work
  on these first world problems, while you're off helping people in the
  third world.
