+h1. Commercial Sponsorship
+
+Mongrel is a free open source web server and will always remain that way, but
+that doesn't mean that companies don't help to make it better.
+
+Mongrel received sponsorship from "EastMedia Group":http://www.eastmedia.com
+in partnership with "VeriSign":http://www.verisign.com/ to make Mongrel
+fast and stable enough for their "PIP":http://pip.verisignlabs.com/
+which should be a great Single Sign-On application and is being released open source.
+
+Other companies benefiting from Ruby should take this as an example.  I
+can think of quite a few things (Ruby 1.9 and a real virtual machine are
+just two) that need some serious commercial cash to get them in gear.  If
+you're making cash off Ruby consider hiring a developer part-time,
+full-time, or posting a bounty for something you need as well as the
+community needs.  There's no better time for enlightened self-interest than now.
+
+
+h1. The People Who Made It Possible
+
+There's quite a few people who either directly or indirectly helped to
+make Mongrel.  If I missed anyone then just e-mail me and I'll put your
+name here.
+
+* Mongrel was started by "Zed A. Shaw":http://www.zedshaw.com/
+* Win32 support for services was done by Luis Lavena.
+* Specialized Win32 gems were setup by Wilson Bilkovich.
+* Why the lucky stiff implemented initial Camping support as well as improvements to Mongrel's file processing.
+* Dan Kubb contributed conditional HTTP responses.
+
+Also with lots of testing from tons of people who are really appreciated.
+
+

+
+h2. Coding
+
+* "Rick Olson (aka technoweenie)":http://techno-weenie.net/ was the first to grab Mongrel
+  and cram "Camping":http://redhanded.hobix.com/bits/campingAMicroframework.html into it.
+* "Why the lucky stiff":http://whytheluckystiff.net/ did work on getting the "Camping Framework":http://redhanded.hobix.com/bits/campingAMicroframework.html working with Mongrel more completely.
+* Dan Kubb hooked up sweet Conditional HTTP Response support for Mongrel making it pretty damn fast for static files.
+* Lots of other folks have sent in patches and tweaks.  Let me know if I missed you.
+
+h2. Tools
+
+* "RubyForge":http://rubyforge.org/ for providing space and hooking it all up.
+* "Webgen":http://webgen.rubyforge.org/
+
+
+h2. Testing
+
+Lots of people from the
+"Ruby on Rails mailing list":http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
+and "ruby-lang mailing list":http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020104.html found bugs
+reported them.
