AUTHORS

36       Synaptic was originally developed by Alfredo K.  Kojima  <kojima@conec‐
37       tiva.com.br>.   His  last  official  release  was  0.16.  Michael  Vogt
38       <mvo@debian.org> took over his CVS version,  that  already  included  a
39       nearly  complete port to Gtk+. Michael completed the port and added new
40       features. See the NEWS file for the  user  visible  changes  from  that
41       point  on.  Conectiva is still involved in the development of synaptic.
42       Gustavo Niemeyer <niemeyer@conectiva.com> is  doing  a  great  deal  of
43       work.
