+  <h2>Acknowledgements</h2>
+  <p>
+    Large parts of this manual originate from Travis E. Oliphant's book
+    <a href="http://www.tramy.us/">"Guide to Numpy"</a> (which generously entered
+    Public Domain in August 2008). The reference documentation for many of
+    the functions are written by numerous contributors and developers of
+    Numpy, both prior to and during the
+    <a href="http://scipy.org/Developer_Zone/DocMarathon2008">Numpy Documentation Marathon</a>.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    The Documentation Marathon is still ongoing. Please help us write
+    better documentation for Numpy by joining it! Instructions on how to
+    join and what to do can be found
+    <a href="http://scipy.org/Developer_Zone/DocMarathon2008">on the scipy.org website</a>.
