Contributors

People who contributed a substantial amount of work and share the copyright over some portions of the code:

Davide Alberani <da –> mimante.net>

Main author and project leader.

H. Turgut Uyar <uyar –> tekir.org>

The whole “http” data access system (using a DOM and XPath-based approach) is based on his work. The imdbpykit interface was mostly written by him and he holds the copyright over the whole code (with some portions shared with others). He provided the tox testsuite.

Provided a lot of code and hints to integrate Cinemagoer with SQLObject, working on the imdbpy2sql.py script and the dbschema.py module.

Beside Turgut, Giuseppe and me, the following people are listed as developers for the Cinemagoer project on sourceforge and may share copyright on some (minor) portions of the code:

Alberto Malagoli

Developed the new web site, and detains the copyright of it, and provided helper functions and other code.

Has done an important refactoring of the imdbpyweb program and shares with me the copyright on the whole program.

Other very special thanks go to some people who followed the development of Cinemagoer very closely, providing hints and insights: Ori Cohen, James Rubino, Tero Saarni, and Jesper Noer (for a lot of help, and also for the wonderful https://bitbucket.org/); and let’s not forget all the translators on https://www.transifex.com/davide_alberani/imdbpy/
