SGML Assessment: Acknowledgements

As Director of The <SGML> Project, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the work undertaken by the staff of the project: Michael Popham who was the project's Development Officer throughout and who has now moved on to new pastures, and to Carrie Baker, the project's Secretary who has also moved on. Without the constant and unstinting efforts of these two, the project would have been nothing and got nowhere. Throughout the project we have been helped and supported by a Steering Group which for the majority of the project has consisted of Dr Anne Mumford (AGOCG and Loughborough University), Eric Thomas (Informatics, RAL), and Lou Burnard (Editor, TEI, and Oxford University Computing Service). They have had the unenviable job of proof-reading and commenting on this report as it has developed. Finally, and not least, I must acknowledge the help, support and succour that has been given by the University of Exeter, particularly by the staff of IT Services, who have put up with my split responsibilities, and have provided space for the project staff and clutter.

P.S: Although the project has formally finished, the distribution list — `sgml@mailbase.ac.uk' — will continue to be maintained by the University of Exeter for some time, as will the anonymous ftp server (see Annex B), and queries about SGML sent to `sgml@exeter.ac.uk' will be answered, although the response may be slower than previously!
