I was going to post right after Dave did, but then the Sopranos came on and...
Anyway, there are some people that I would like to thank for the development and release of this project, so please be aware that this is going to be an Oscar-esque thank you post. But if you're interested in seeing who added to this package and check out some props for great hackers and project managers, I hope that you would read on.
I would like to thank MIT/Sloan for selecting Musea Technologies (http://www.museatech.net) to work on this package. Caroline Meeks (http://www.meekshome.com) for doing an excellent job with project management and guiding our development.
Open Force (http://www.openforce.net) and its team (Ben, Arjun and Yon) for building an *extremely* strong platform for oacs development. People at LinuxWorld were wowed by it.
In order to help Musea develop the survey package, Dave Bauer (http://www.deepskydesign.com) was brought on to do yeoman's work in designing, building and fixing the system. Dave has done an incredible job in working with Caroline and Sloan to deliver what they needed.
I would also like to thank Luke Pond (http://www.museatech.net/about/luke.html), Musea's engineer extraordinaire for the high level design and fancy hacking of tough datamodel problems and development.
Malte Sussdorff (http://www.sussdorff-roy.com) contributed a great deal with development as our development team and his worked together to deliver a new system for both Sloan and SR's client.
In addition, Don Baccus (http://donb.photo.net) for bug fixing and for ad_form which is heavily used in survey.
Thanks to the openacs volunteers, developers and companies that have been tossing bug fixes and ideas into the pot for the past few years.
Finally, thanks to the #openacs IRC crew for wasting a lot of everyone's time with their petty little discussions about who Vinod has a crush on and why markd's Spousal Overunit is on the fritz. Pshhh... losers.
Just another example of all the pieces, vendors and volunteers that go into making the oacs...
Please download the survey package and bang away on it. Send in patches, bug fixes, new features and donations to the Capital Campaign to Build Talli's Gut. Everything will be accepted. At least for the campaign.
