Last time I looked all the contributors were listed in the top of the script
file.  In fact I just opened it with my reply and here is what it says
 
;Contributors (alphabetically): Sina Bahram, Jamal Mazrui, Will Pearson, Ken
Perry, Travis Roth, Peter Torpey

 

Now with that said if you want to know kind of a chronology to things it
started with Will and Travis  working with Microsoft.  I am not sure if
Travis worked with Microsoft directly but I know Will was.  They had created
a lot of basic scripts for it.  I then came along and asked if anyone had
wrote anything.  Both travis and Will told me they had stuff but it was not
ready for release.  I asked them for their code so I could put something
together that people could use until something better came along.  So with
their code and a bit of what I wrote the first scripts were born.  After
that jamal has taken the project and ran like a crazed professional line
backer straight through a high school defense.  The others listed have done
modifications to fit certain needs.

Subject: Did you contribute to the Visual Studio Scripts, I want to know!


Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I've mailed the list (quite the hectic summer for
me, as I was looking for work (I ended up taking a professorship at Central
Washington University)). 

So everyone knows, I'm currently working on a journal publication of some of
the blind programming work I've been doing over the last few years. In it, I
want to site the Visual Studio 2005-8 JAWS scripts available on the grab bag
site, and mention them as being the best available scripts for the
environment (that I know of!).

So, what does that mean?

If you were a primary contributor to the scripts and you would like to
obtain credit, please email in this thread with your full name.
Alternatively, if you don't feel comfortable putting your name out publicly,
but want credit, you can email me directly.

And last, does anyone have an official contributor list? I only want to cite
the top contributors (especially if there are many!), as there isn't much
space in publications usually.

Hope to hear from you, hope everyone is having a great summer.

Andreas
