Org was born in 2003, out of frustration over the user interface of the Emacs
Outline mode. I was trying to organize my notes and projects, and using
Emacs seemed to be the natural way to go. However, having to remember eleven

@section From Bastien
I (Bastien) have been maintaining Org since January 2010. This appendix
would not be complete without adding a few more acknowledgements and thanks
to Carsten's ones above.
I am first grateful to Carsten for his trust while handing me over the
maintainership of Org. His support as been great since day one of this new
adventure, and it helped a lot.
When I took over maintainership, I knew I would have to make Org more
collaborative than ever, as I would have to rely on people that are more
knowledgeable than I am on many parts of the code. Here is a list of the
persons I could rely on, they should really be considered co-maintainers,
either of the code or the community:
@table @i
@item Eric Schulte
Eric is maintaining the Babel parts of Org. His reactivity here kept me away
from worrying about possible bugs here and let me focus on other parts.
@item Nicolas Goaziou
Nicolas is maintaining the consistency of the deepest parts of Org. His work
on @file{org-element.el} and @file{org-export.el} has been outstanding, and
opened the doors for many new ideas and features.
@item Jambunathan K
Jambunathan contributed the ODT exporter, definitly a killer feature of
Org mode. He also contributed the new HTML exporter, which is another core
feature of Org. Here too, I knew I could rely on him to fix bugs in these
areas and to patiently explain the users what was the problems and solutions.
@item Achim Gratz
Achim rewrote the building process of Org, turning some @emph{ad hoc} tools
into a flexible and conceptually clean process. He patiently coped with the
many hicups that such a change can create for users.
@item Nick Dokos
The Org mode mailing list would not be such a nice place without Nick, who
patiently helped users so many times. It is impossible to overestimate such
a great help, and the list would not be so active without him.
@end table
I received support from so many users that it is clearly impossible to be
fair when shortlisting a few of them -- but Org's history would not be
complete if the ones above were not mentioned in this manual.
