-initial content+===== Authors and Contributors ===== 
 + 
 +The project would never have reached the current state without the support of many knowledgeable programmers. Thanks to everyone who helped us so far! 
 + 
 +==== Active Contributors ==== 
 + 
 +=== Jean Delvare === 
 +Author of several hardware monitoring chip drivers. General support and development. Ported or helped porting many chip drivers to Linux 2.6. Maintainer of the hwmon subsystem in Linux 2.6 (from 2.6.14 to 2.6.22, and again since 2.6.36). Wrote most of the new code for lm-sensors 3.0. Responsible for the releases of the 3.0 branch. Opensuse packager.  
 + 
 +=== Hans de Goede === 
 +Started the 3.0 branch with some of his students. Ported many third-party applications to the new libsensors interface. Fedora packager.  
 + 
 +=== Aurelien Jarno === 
 +Debian packager, forwards bug fixes and improvements. Ported several i2c chip drivers to Linux 2.6.  
 + 
 +=== Philip Edelbrock === 
 +Provided the old web area and support system for years, as well as much of the PIIX4 SMBus code and an assortment of device drivers and other code. Provides the mirror download area. Still responsible for releases of the 2.10 branch.  
 + 
 +=== Axel Thimm === 
 +Server administrator,​ provides the web area, primary download area, mailing list infrastructure and SVN facility.  
 + 
 +=== Andre Prendel === 
 +Development and support. (Co)Author of drivers for Texas Instruments TMP401/​411/​421/​422/​423 sensor chips.  
 + 
 +=== Guenter Roeck === 
 +Co-maintainer of the hwmon subsystem in Linux 2.6 (since 2.6.36).  
 + 
 +There is much more work to do than we are able to achieve. We welcome new contributors! 
 + 
 +==== Past Contributors ==== 
 + 
 +=== Alexander Larsson === 
 +Laid down most of the foundation of what this project was made from, and has offered much advice and experience to the project.  
 + 
 +=== Frodo Looijaard === 
 +Designed and wrote the core of lm_sensors version 2, as well as several drivers, the library and some user-space programs. Once, he thought the lm78 module would just require a quick hack...  
 + 
 +=== William Morgan === 
 +Additional input and feedback. Has also been providing his programming skills to add features like interrupt support and general code organizational improvements. Introduced and maintained the CVS repository in the beginning.  
 + 
 +=== Kyösti Mälkki === 
 +A very active contributor. Started the conversion to Linux 2.5.  
 + 
 +=== Simon Vogl === 
 +Wrote the new i2c subsystem, thanks to which lm_sensors version 2 was possible.  
 + 
 +=== Gerd Knorr === 
 +Designed the i2c structs, which made it possible to use the smbus-is-just-an-i2c-extension approach.  
 + 
 +=== Mark D. Studebaker === 
 +Author of some drivers such as the i2c-ali15x3 driver. General code development and design.  
 + 
 +=== Philip Pokorny === 
 +Author of the LM85 and ADM1026 drivers. Helped with support and development.  
 + 
 +=== Greg Kroah-Hartman === 
 +Pushed the i2c bus drivers and the first hardware monitoring drivers into mainline (during the Linux 2.5 development cycle). Former maintainer of the i2c subsystem (which included hardware monitoring at that time) from Linux 2.5.70 to 2.6.11.  
 + 
 +=== Rudolf Marek === 
 +Helped with support and development. Author of several hardware monitoring drivers.  
 + 
 +=== Mark M. Hoffman === 
 +Author of several hardware monitoring chip and i2c bus drivers. Helped with support and development. Former maintainer of the hwmon subsystem in Linux 2.6 (from 2.6.23 to 2.6.26).  
 + 
 +And many, many other developers who have provided suggestions,​ testing, patches. Thanks!
