Acknowledgements

----------------
|
| 56 |
I'd like to extend a heart-felt thank you to the folks at Google for their
|
| 57 |
Summer of Code program, without which my working on this module would not have
|
| 58 |
been possible. I'd also like to extend my thanks to Robert Douglass as my mentor
|
| 59 |
on this project, for his tireless patience and faith in my abilities, and the
|
| 60 |
entire Drupal development community for their support while I struggled with
|
| 61 |
foreign concepts like 'node' and 'taxonomy.' You guys all provided me with
|
| 62 |
support, encouragement, and fun times and I sincerely hope to remain a part of
|
| 63 |
the Drupal community for a long time to come!
|
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Also huge thanks go to Ejovi Nuwere of http://www.securitylab.net/ for
|
| 66 |
sponsoring further module development after Summer of Code.
