The THANKS file:
All distributions should contain a `THANKS' file containing a two column list of the contributors, one per line, alphabetically sorted. The left column gives the contributor's name, while the right column gives the last known good email address for this contributor. This list should be introduced with a wording similar to this one:
MaNGOS THANKS file
MaNGOS has originally been written by Team Python and WoW Daemon Team. Many people further contributed to MaNGOS by reporting problems, suggesting various improvements or submitting actual code.
Here is a list of these people. Help me keep it complete and exempt of errors.
Special thanks should also go out to the WowwoW team. We have gained help from them many times in the creation of this project. Keep up the good work guys.
Thanks should also go out to the Ludmilla team, who are also providing the community with a great server. We have not gained too much help from them, but we have received some.
Thanks to WCell team (especially Ralek) for reseach on realm reconnect sequence, item scaling stats algorithm, gameobject rotation issues.
We would also like to acknowledge the contributions made by the following teams, those input and code has from time to time been included in the MaNGOS code. Each of the commits will have a prefix indicating the source team :-
t - TrinityCore p - Project SilverPine r - MangosR2 s - ScriptDev c - cMangos m - mangos
