### Plugin Authors Credit

The diversity and range of the OpenCPN Plugins is quite remarkable. Users should appreciate the time these authors spent to create this resource. Plugins have been developed for some time now. There is a very healthy collaboration, so that at times it is truly impossible to determine “whose” plugin it is, and since this is one of the major strengths of Open Source we will not attribute. However it should be noted that there are a number of authors who are quite prolific. As the authors come to mind they will be noted below. If you are one of the authors and your name does not appear, please advise.

### Programmers

Sean Depagnier, Dave Register, Jean Pierre Pitzef, Dave Cowell, Dirk Smits, Jon Gough, Mike Rossiter, Salty Paws, Transmitter Dan, Peter Tulp, Konni, Hakan, Wally Schulpen, Kees Verruijt, Douwe Fokkema, Dave Deller and there are more.

### Testers

Many thanks to those who spent many hours helping the authors of these plugins test and debug.
