If you are a first time commiter please add yourself to this list for legal reasons. You may want to disguise your email adress to prevent crawlers from detecting it. If you do so make sure it does not leave room for different interpretations.

A list of recent Rigs of Rods authors ("contributors") can also be determined from the VCS, e.g. via ```git shortlog -sne```, or conveniently looked up on [the GitHub web interface](https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/graphs/contributors). This does not contain all contributors however since the source code moved from SVN to Hg to git repositories.

Details on individual authorships of files can be obtained via the VCS, e.g. via ```git blame```, or the GitHub web interface. Again, this does not display all authors.
