The PyMOL Team:



NOTE: this list has not been updated since Fall 2003.  Since then, the

PyMOL effort has grown to such an extent that it is no longer

practical to recognize everyone individually.  Fortunately, a public

record of participation exists and can be appreciated on the internet,

and especially via the PyMOL mailing list archives.  Suffice it to say

that the PyMOL user community now numbers well into the thousands and

includes scientists, students, and educators worldwide, spread

throughout academia and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical

industries.  Though Schrodinger, LLC specifically supports and

maintains the PyMOL code base, the project can only continue to

succeed through the sponsorship and participation of the broader

community.
