-
-* The original design for the ``.egg`` format and the ``pkg_resources`` API was
- co-created by Phillip Eby and Bob Ippolito. Bob also implemented the first
- version of ``pkg_resources``, and supplied the macOS operating system version
- compatibility algorithm.
-
-* Ian Bicking implemented many early "creature comfort" features of
- easy_install, including support for downloading via Sourceforge and
- Subversion repositories. Ian's comments on the Web-SIG about WSGI
- application deployment also inspired the concept of "entry points" in eggs,
- and he has given talks at PyCon and elsewhere to inform and educate the
- community about eggs and setuptools.
-
-* Jim Fulton contributed time and effort to build automated tests of various
- aspects of ``easy_install``, and supplied the doctests for the command-line
- ``.exe`` wrappers on Windows.
-
-* Phillip J. Eby is the seminal author of setuptools, and
- first proposed the idea of an importable binary distribution format for
- Python application plug-ins.
-
-* Significant parts of the implementation of setuptools were funded by the Open
- Source Applications Foundation, to provide a plug-in infrastructure for the
- Chandler PIM application. In addition, many OSAF staffers (such as Mike
- "Code Bear" Taylor) contributed their time and stress as guinea pigs for the
- use of eggs and setuptools, even before eggs were "cool". (Thanks, guys!)
-
-* Tarek Ziadé is the principal author of the Distribute fork, which
- re-invigorated the community on the project, encouraged renewed innovation,
- and addressed many defects.
-
-* Jason R. Coombs performed the merge with Distribute, maintaining the
- project for several years in coordination with the Python Packaging
- Authority (PyPA).
