Correction: Atsushi Eno and Mono`s System.Xml; Clarification from my previous post

monogatari

A while back I posted an entry regarding Atsushi Eno and Mono`s System.Xml implementation. As some of you are aware, my time is limited at the moment while I work on a project that is sorta, kinda, still unannounced. As such I havent been able to keep up with as many blogs as I would like to. However, catching up with Atsushi Eno`s blog I came across this correction to my post:

System.Xml code is not mine

I came across M.David Peterson thinking that I have written all xml code. It is quite incorrect ;-)

System.Xml - XmlReader and XmlDocument related stuff are originally from Jason Diamond.
XmlWriter related stuff are from Kral Ferch.
System.Xml.Schema - Dwivedi, Ajay kumar wrote non-compilation part of them.
System.Xml.Serialization - Lluis Sanchez rules.
System.Xml.XPath - Piers Haken implemented most of our XPath engine.
After that, Ben Maurer restructured the design for XSLT.
XPathNavigator is Jason Diamond`s work.
System.Xml.Xsl - It is Ben Maurer who wrote most of the code.

Well, yes, I wrote most of other part than listed above (what remains ;-) I am just a grave keeper. And recently Andrew Skiba from Mainsoft is becoming another code hero in sys.xml area, contributing decent test framework and bugfixes in XML parsers and XSLT.

While my claim that Atsushi Eno`s code kicks a$$ still stands, I thought it best that I make notice to the fact that my initial post was in fact incorrect and, as Atsushi has helped clarify, there are many people who deserve credit for its development.
