  <para>William E. Kempf was the architect, designer, and implementor of 
  &Boost.Thread;.</para>
  <para>Mac OS Carbon implementation written by Mac Murrett.</para>
  <para>Dave Moore provided initial submissions and further comments on the 
  <code>barrier</code>
  , 
  <code>thread_pool</code>
  , 
  <code>read_write_mutex</code>
  , 
  <code>read_write_try_mutex</code>
  and 
  <code>read_write_timed_mutex</code>
  classes.</para>
  <para>Important contributions were also made by Jeremy Siek (lots of input
  on the design and on the implementation), Alexander Terekhov (lots of input
  on the Win32 implementation, especially in regards to boost::condition, as
  well as a lot of explanation of POSIX behavior), Greg Colvin (lots of input
  on the design), Paul Mclachlan, Thomas Matelich and Iain Hanson (for help
  in trying to get the build to work on other platforms), and Kevin S. Van
  Horn (for several updates/corrections to the documentation).</para>
  <para>Mike Glassford finished changes to &Boost.Thread; that were begun
  by William Kempf and moved them into the main CVS branch.

  developer's mailing list and provided some additions and changes to the 
  read_write_mutex and related classes.</para>

  provided additional documentation material and editing.
  Mike Glassford finished William Kempf's conversion of the documentation to
