Ben Fry and Casey Reas started Processing in Fall 2001 and have been co-developing it since. Over the years, a growing number of people have been making additional contributions to the project. The current state of the project would not be possible without this assistance. We're always looking for people to join in and with the coming release of Processing version 1.0, we hope to distribute the development of the project among a small group of dedicated individuals.
We give a special "Thank You!" to Sami Arola for writing the base of P3D, Simon Greenwold for incorporting camera and lights into P3D, and Florian Jenett for years of faithful service on the website.

The Processing software is a community effort. Over the last five years, the software has evolved through a continuous conversation. It's impossible to make a list of everyone who has collaborated and contributed. The people who have formally contributed to the software includes Karsten Schmidt, Ariel Malka, Martin Gomez, Mikkel Crone Koser, Koen Mostert, Timothy Mohn, Dan Mosedale, Jacob Schwartz, Sami Arola, Dan Haskovec, and Jonathan Feinberg. The website has been augmented by Lenny Burdette, Florian Jenett, Cem Uzunoglu, Dara Kilicoglu, and Kevin Cannon. The reference has been translated to other languages by Willian Ngan, Tori Tan, Mei Yu, Widianto Nugroho, Tetsu Kondo, Tai- Kyung Kim, Julien Gachadoat, Pedro Alpera, Alessandro Capozzo, and Burak Arikan. As of 30 June 2006, code libraries have been generously contributed by Brendan Berg, Jeffrey Traer Bernstein, Michael Chang, Stephane Cousot, Jeff Crouse, Kristian Linn Damkjer, Daniel Dihardja, Julien Gachadoat, Simon Greenwold, Mark Hill, Florian Jenett, JohnG, Jesse Kriss, Ariel Malka, Markavian, Allan William Martin, Josh Nimoy, Krister Olsson, Amit Pitaru, Christian Riekoff, RSG, Carl-Johan Rosén, Tatsuya Saito, Andreas Schlegel, Karsten Schmidt, Daniel Shiffman, Taka, and Marius Watz. Tom Carden created www.processingblogs.org and together with Karsten Schmidt created www.processinghacks.com.

Processing was first introduced to students through workshops. We're eternally grateful to the first institutions who took a chance on our new software in 2001 and 2002: Musashino Art University (Tokyo), ENSCI Les Atelier (Paris), HyperWerk (Basel), Royal Conservatory (Hague). Many universities have integrated Processing into their curriculum and we're grateful to the pioneer faculty members and students at these institutions. They are too numerous to mention here. The students and faculty in New York University's Interactive Telecommunication Program (ITP) deserve a special thank you for their early adoption and promotion.

We also thank the Open Source software developers of Jikes, JEdit, ORO Matcher, and ANTLR. The Processing software is built upon their work.
