[crowd funded on Kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joeyh/git-annex-assistant-like-dropbox-but-with-your-own/). ### Major Backers These people are just inspiring in their enthusiasm and generosity to this project. * Jason Scott * strager ### Beta Testers Whole weeks of my time were made possible thanks to each of these people, and their testing is invaluable to the development of the git-annex assistant. * Jimmy Tang * David Pollak * Pater * Francois Marier * Paul Sherwood * Fred Epma * Robert Ristroph * Josh Triplett * David Haslem * AJ Ashton * Svenne Krap * Drew Hess * Peter

Some of them spent significant amounts of money in the guise of getting some swag. For others, being listed here, and being crucial to making the git-annex assistant happen was reward enough. Large or small, these contributions were, literally, my bread and butter this year.

Zaytsev for running the Windows autobuilder. * Kevin McKenzie for providing a OSX account for testing. * Anna and Mark, for the loan of the video camera; as well as the rest of my family, for your support. Even when I couldn't explain what I was working on. * And Mom, for stamping and stuffing so many thank you envelopes, and all the rhubarb pies.
