Acknowledgments

Although I am the only designer and implementor of GWM, the project could not have been completed without the help of many individuals, namely:

Vania Joloboff, who created the KOALA BULL team at INRIA, and started the GWM project, and KOALA members Vincent Bouthors and Daniel Dardailler who tested GWM and wrote WOOL profiles.

Gilles Kahn, Francis Montagnac, and the CROAP team at INRIA who intensively used GWM and provided me with machines to develop it. A special thanks goes to Janet Incerpi who corrected the documentation.

All my beta testers: Raphael Bernhard, Didier Poirot, Matthieu Devin, Christophe Muller, Laurent Hill, Anne Marie Bustos, Simon Kaplan ... and last, but certainly not least, Bob Scheifler himself!

And since July 1989, GWM has been enhanced by the growing community of the gwm-talk mailing list, whose members are alas too numerous to be all cited here, but are giving me an invaluable feedback.
