+ <acronym>deal.II</acronym> was originally designed and written by
+ <A HREF="http://gaia.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~wolf/" target="_top">Wolfgang
+ Bangerth</A>, starting in early 1998; he is still maintaining and
+ managing the library and contributing code. However, over time
+ other people have contributed as well, most notably
+ <A HREF="http://gaia.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~kanschat/" target="_top">Guido
+ Kanschat</A>, who wrote the code linking several finite elements
+ together into one and above all the largest part of the multigrid
+ code. In addition, the first author owes him many thanks for
+ continuous advice in the early implementation stages on questions
+ of what is necessary to make up a good finite element code; only
+ this flow of advice made if possible to design from scratch a
+ library with the flexibility and stability of the interface of
+ <acronym>deal.II</acronym>.
