While the initial work on parsedatetime is based on my past work in dealing with validation of date/time text, the current code could not have happened without the help, aid and pokings of the following folks: Darshana Chhajed As the first "real" user of the new Python code, Darshana pointed out many of the initial flaws and bugs and then started fixing them! Her aide was so helpful that I was happy to add her as co-author. Ted Leung Early "sounding board" advice and continued support to make the code as open and useful as it is. Heikki Toivenan While Heikki hasn't aided directly he has been extremely helpful in making sure my Python code is clean and simple - any current ugliness is purely my own fault OSAF The folks at OSAF (Open Source Applications Foundation) helped a lot in shaping how the code works and in answering my "how do I do *this*" questions - especially Jeffrey, Philippe, Grant, Andi, Alex and Katie.
