==Overall guidance==
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to Moodle in various ways...


[http://dougiamas.com/ Martin Dougiamas] is the originator, lead developer, project manager, and release manager for the whole Moodle project. Since 2005 there is a team of people employed over at [http://moodle.com/ Moodle HQ] helping him keep on top of things (or at least within sight of the top!).
* [https://moodle.org/dev/ Developer credits] - Developers who have contributed directly to core Moodle code
 
* [[Community credits]] - Facilitators and moderators on moodle.org, particularly helpful Moodlers in the forums, plugin validators and reviewers
The Moodle software package is [[License|Copyright © 1999 onwards, Martin Dougiamas under the GNU GPL]].
* [[Documentation credits]] - Documentation writers
 
* [[Moodle libraries credits]] - Authors of libraries which are redistributed as part of Moodle
==Main developers==
* [[Testing credits]] - People who have helped with [[QA testing|Quality Assurance (QA) testing]]
 
* [[Translation credits]] - People who have contributed to translating Moodle and who maintain the many language packs
A special thanks from all of us goes to those who have contributed substantial and ongoing amounts of time to writing Moodle code and helping it grow. These are people who "get" what developing Moodle is all about and without whom Moodle would be a far lesser thing:
 
'''Eloy Lafuente (stronk7), Ray Kingdon, Williams Castillo, Petri Asikainen, Henrik Kaipe, Zbigniew Fiedorowicz, Gustav Delius, Thomas Robb, Janne Mikkonen, Jon Papaioannou (pj), Scott Elliott, Shane Elliott, Roberto Pinna (Bobo), Mike Churchward, Petr Škoda (skodak), Penny Leach, Martin Langhoff'''
 
==Other contributors==
 
Many other people have contributed (and are still contributing) with constructive discussions, support, testing and various chunks of code and documentation. This list is long and always changing, but some names include (in the order they were added):
 
'''Peter C. Taylor, Art Lader, Matt Hope, Tom Murdock, Sébastien Namèche, James Miller, Dustin Rue, Holger Schadeck, Giovanni Tummarello, John Windmueller, Sean Keogh, Mitsuhiro Yoshida, Greg Barnett, Mark Kimes, Mary Hunter, Russell Jungwirth, Przemyslaw Stencel, John "Captain" Eyre, Paula Edmiston, Howard Miller, Claudio Tavares, P. Timothy Ervin, Bob Calder, Ursula Raab, David Delgado, Mad Alex, Gaëtan Frenoy, Bernard Boucher, Bryan Williams, Rob Butner, Koen Roggemans, David Scotson, Torsten Anderson, Eamon Costello, Hannes Gassert, Andrew Walker.'''
 
Sorry if we've forgotten to include your name here - the Moodle community is large and active so this list is difficult to maintain! Please email Martin and make your suggestions! :-)
 
Thanks also to everyone of you who have
* donated via the [http://moodle.org/donations Donations page],
* contributed to the [http://moodle.org/bugs bug tracker], and
* participated in the [http://moodle.org/community Moodle Community]
 
==Translators==
 
One of Moodle's strengths is the number of translations it has. Each translation takes many hours of work, as there are over 1000 phrases to translate (plus hundreds of help files!). Many of the languages have more than one contributor, sometimes working together and sometimes working serially.
 
Maintaining a list of all these wonderful people is too difficult, so please look at the [http://moodle.org/download/lang/ Language download page] for names and details.
 
The Translation Coordinator is Koen Roggemans (translation@moodle.org).
 
==Themes==
 
Themes give Moodle sites some colour and life. Here are all the themes carried as part of the Moodle 1.5 distribution, along with their authors:
 
* '''standard''' by Martin Dougiamas
* '''orangewhite''' and '''orangewhitepda''' by Urs Hunkler [http://www.unodo.de/ unodo]
* '''oceanblue''' by Mitsuhiro Yoshida http://mitstek.com
* '''cornflower''' by Thomas Murdock http://sand-paper.org
* '''formal_white''' by Andrea Bicciolo
* '''metal''' by A. Chavan (updated for Moodle 1.5 by Martin Dougiamas)
* '''wood''' by Eloy Lafuente
 
==Moodle libraries==
