Boost.Threads - Acknowledgments

###  | # Boost.Threads ## Acknowledgments

William E. Kempf was the architect, designer, and implementor of Boost.Threads.

Mac OS Carbon implementation written by Mac Murrett.

Important contributions were also made by Jeremy Siek (lots of input on the design and on the implementation), Alexander Terekhov (lots of input on the Win32 implementation, especially in regards to boost::condition, as well as a lot of explanation of POSIX behavior), Greg Colvin (lots of input on the design), Paul Mclachlan, Thomas Matelich and Iain Hanson (for help in trying to get the build to work on other platforms), Kevin S. Van Horn (for several updates/corrections to the documentation), and Martin Johnson (shared library implementation).

The documentation was written by William E. Kempf. Beman Dawes provided additional documentation material and editing.
