You know the saying “It takes a village”? On a project like this, it takes more than a village – it takes dozens of people on several continents. With the exception of our webmaster (who does have to earn a living doing this, but has worked for a fraction of his normal fees), this entire project has been created by volunteers. Here is where they’re thanked and credited. I’d appreciate your taking the time to look at their names and give them a mental shout-out, because it couldn’t have been done without them. – Janis Ian
