Acknowledgements
================

We are greatful to the developers and contributers of NumPy_, SciPy_ and
IPython_ for providing an excellent Python-based computing environment.

Additionally, as PyMVPA makes use of a lot of external software
packages (e.g.  classifier implementations), we want to acknowledge
the authors of the respective tools and libraries (e.g. LIBSVM_, MDP_,
scikit-learn_, Shogun_) and thank them for developing their packages
as free and open source software.

Finally, we would like to express our acknowledgements to the `Debian
project`_ for providing us with hosting facilities for mailing lists
and source code repositories. But most of all for developing the
*universal operating system*.

.. Please add some notes when you think that you should give credits to someone
   that enables or motivates you to work on PyMVPA ;-)
