+================
+
+Large parts of this manual originate from Travis E. Oliphant's book
+`Guide to Numpy <http://www.tramy.us/>`__ (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
+`Numpy Documentation Marathon <http://scipy.org/Developer_Zone/DocMarathon2008>`__.
+
+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
+`on the scipy.org website <http://scipy.org/Developer_Zone/DocMarathon2008>`__
