<ul>
  <li>Takatoshi Kondo found and corrected a very obscure and difficult bug in the 
  serialization of virtual base classes.
  <li><a href="http://www.autoform.com">AutoForm Engineering GmbH</a> supported
  development efforts to extend correct serialization to objects stored in DLLS.
  <li><a href"http://www.cadence.com/il">Cadence Israel</a> supported enhancement
  and testing of the portable binary archive.
  <li>David Abrahams improved implementation of "export" functionality.  This not
  only eliminated an annoying header sequencing requirement, but also the need to maintain
  a list of "known archives".
  <li>Mattias Troyer enhanced the implementation of native binary archives.  This includes
  enhancement and generalization of the library itself including generalization of
  the wrapper concept.
  <li>Markus Sch&ouml;pflin tracked down issues with TRU64 compiler resulting in 100% passing.
  <li><a href="mailto::troy@resophonic.com"> Troy D. Straszheim</a> made the initial version of variant serialization.
  <li>Tonko Juricic helped refine and complete project files for VC 7.1 ide
  <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/rene_rivera.htm">Rene Rivera</a> tracked down several issues related to 
  Code Warrior, toolset configuration and bjam and much else.
  <li>Martin Ecker detected (and fixed!) a number of subtle errors regarding cyclic
  pointers, shared pointers.  He also built the library as a DLL and raised some issues
  <li>Pavel Vozenilek invested much effort in review of code and documentation
  resulting in many improvements.  In addition he helped a lot with porting to other
  platforms including VC 6.0, Intel, and especially Borland.
  <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/jens_maurer.htm">Jens Maurer</a> and
  <a href="http://www.boost.org/people/beman_dawes.html">Beman Dawes</a> who got the boost
  serialization ball rolling.  It was one or both of these two that invented
  the much beloved <code>&amp;</code> syntax used to implement both save and
  load in one fuction specification.
  <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/vladimir_prus.htm">Vladimir Prus</a> for evaluating an
  early draft and contributing the diamond inheritance example.
  <li><a href="http://www.boost.org/people/william_kempf.htm">William E. Kempf</a>
  who made the templates for this and other boost manuals.  This relieved
  me of much aggravation.
  <li><a href="mailto:vahan@unicad.am">Vahan Margaryan</a> and
  <a href="mailto:fredrik_blomqvist-at-home.se">Fredrik Blomqvist</a> for their contributions
  to my understanding of the subtle issues of exception safety in this context.
  <li>all other boost members who responded with feedback during the
  development of this library.  Almost all comments resulted in
  tangible changes in the library which made it much better.
  <li>boosters who helped out in porting to other platforms:, Fernando Cacciola (Borland), 
  Jeff Flinn (VC 7.1), Vladimir Prus (gcc 3.3), Christoph Ludwig(gcc 3.4),
  Rob Lievaart(mingw), Marshal Clow(gcc-darwin) among others.
  <li>all boost members who participated in the first formal review
  in November 2002.  Many of these members invested quite an effort
  to evaluate the library and suggest changes. They are
  Matthias Troyer, Pavel Vozenilek, Vladimir Prus, Fredrik Blomqvist,
  Jeff Garland, Gennadiy Rozental, Alberto Barbati, Dave Harris.
  Mr. Rozenthal in particular wrote an incredibly insightful analysis
  that has driven all subsequent development that has resulted in the
  current package.
  <li>Dave Harris proposal and spirited defense of it led to a re-thinking
  of the overrides for serialization of pointers.  This resulted in a simpler
  and more effective method of accounting for non-default constructors
  required by serialization of pointers and STL collections.
  <li><a href="mailto:admin@thefireflyproject.us">Bryce Lelbach</a> rewrote the XML Serialization grammar using Boost.Spirit 2.x.
