This appendix +would not be complete without adding a few more acknowledgements and thanks +to Carsten's ones above. + +I am first grateful to Carsten for his trust while handing me over the +maintainership of Org. His support as been great since day one of this new +adventure, and it helped a lot. + +When I took over maintainership, I knew I would have to make Org more +collaborative than ever, as I would have to rely on people that are more +knowledgeable than I am on many parts of the code.

His work +on @file{org-element.el} and @file{org-export.el} has been outstanding, and +opened the doors for many new ideas and features. + +@item Jambunathan K +Jambunathan contributed the ODT exporter, definitly a killer feature of +Org mode. He also contributed the new HTML exporter, which is another core +feature of Org.
