================
GNU Wget was written by Hrvoje Nikšić <hniksic@xemacs.org>,
However, the development of Wget could never have gone as far as it
has, were it not for the help of many people, either with bug reports,
feature proposals, patches, or letters saying “Thanks!”.
Special thanks goes to the following people (no particular order):
• Dan Harkless—contributed a lot of code and documentation of
extremely high quality, as well as the ‘--page-requisites’ and
related options. He was the principal maintainer for some time and
released Wget 1.6.
• Ian Abbott—contributed bug fixes, Windows-related fixes, and
provided a prototype implementation of the breadth-first recursive
download. Co-maintained Wget during the 1.8 release cycle.
• The dotsrc.org crew, in particular Karsten Thygesen—donated system
resources such as the mailing list, web space, FTP space, and
version control repositories, along with a lot of time to make
these actually work. Christian Reiniger was of invaluable help
with setting up Subversion.
• Heiko Herold—provided high-quality Windows builds and contributed
bug and build reports for many years.
• Shawn McHorse—bug reports and patches.
• Kaveh R. Ghazi—on-the-fly ‘ansi2knr’-ization. Lots of portability
fixes.
• Gordon Matzigkeit—‘.netrc’ support.
• Zlatko Čalušić, Tomislav Vujec and Dražen Kačar—feature suggestions
and “philosophical” discussions.
• Darko Budor—initial port to Windows.
• Antonio Rosella—help and suggestions, plus the initial Italian
translation.
• Tomislav Petrović, Mario Mikočević—many bug reports and
suggestions.
• Françis Pinard—many thorough bug reports and discussions.
• Karl Eichwalder—lots of help with internationalization, Makefile
layout and many other things.
• Junio Hamano—donated support for Opie and HTTP ‘Digest’
authentication.
• Mauro Tortonesi—improved IPv6 support, adding support for dual
family systems. Refactored and enhanced FTP IPv6 code. Maintained
GNU Wget from 2004–2007.
• Christopher G. Lewis—maintenance of the Windows version of GNU
WGet.
• Gisle Vanem—many helpful patches and improvements, especially for
Windows and MS-DOS support.
• Ralf Wildenhues—contributed patches to convert Wget to use Automake
as part of its build process, and various bugfixes.
• Steven Schubiger—Many helpful patches, bugfixes and improvements.
Notably, conversion of Wget to use the Gnulib quotes and quoteargs
modules, and the addition of password prompts at the console, via
the Gnulib getpasswd-gnu module.
• Ted Mielczarek—donated support for CSS.
• Saint Xavier—Support for IRIs (RFC 3987).
• Tim Rühsen—Loads of helpful patches, especially fuzzing support and
Continuous Integration. Maintainer since 2014.
• Darshit Shah—Many helpful patches. Community support on various
platforms. Maintainer since 2014.
• People who provided donations for development—including Brian
Gough.

suggestions, beta testing services, fan mail and all the other things
that make maintenance so much fun:
