AUTHORS

       Synaptic  was  originally  developed  by  Alfredo  K. Kojima <kojima@conectiva.com.br>. His last official
       release was 0.16. Michael Vogt <mvo@debian.org> took over his CVS version, that already included a nearly
       complete  port to Gtk+. Michael completed the port and added new features. See the NEWS file for the user
       visible changes from that point on. Conectiva is still involved in the development of  synaptic.  Gustavo
       Niemeyer <niemeyer@conectiva.com> is doing a great deal of work.

       All development is done at http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/synaptic
