Many discussions within the Démons team and the LogiCal project
influenced significantly the design of Coq especially with

Intensive users suggested improvements of the system : 
Y. Bertot, L. Pottier, L. Théry (INRIA-Lemme project) 
C. Alvarado, P. Crégut, J.-F. Monin (France Telecom R&D)
P. Castéran (Université Bordeaux 1)
