- He has done various low-level work on SBCL, especially for the
- SPARC port (and for CPU-architecture-neutral things motivated by
- it, like *BACKEND-FEATURES*). He's also contributed miscellaneous
- bug fixes. As of 2002-01-17, he seems to be mostly done with a port
- of SBCL to the SPARC CPU.
+ He ported SBCL to SPARC (based on the CMUCL backend), made various
+ port-related and SPARC-related changes (like *BACKEND-SUBFEATURES*),
+ made many fixes and improvements in the compiler's type system, has
+ essentially completed the work to enable bootstrapping SBCL under
+ unrelated (non-SBCL, non-CMU-CL) Common Lisps. He participated in
+ the modernization of SBCL's CLOS implementation, implemented the
+ treatment of compiler notes as restartable conditions, provided
+ optimizations to compiler output, and contributed in other ways as
+ well.
+
+Stig Erik Sandø:
+ He showed how to convince the GNU toolchain to build SBCL in a way
+ which supports callbacks from C code into SBCL.
+
+Rudi Schlatte:
+ He ported Paul Foley's simple-streams implementation from cmucl,
+ converted the sbcl manual to Texinfo and wrote a documentation
+ string extractor that keeps function documentation in the manual
+ current.
+
+Thiemo Seufer:
+ He modernized the MIPS backend, fixing many bugs, and assisted in
+ cleaning up the C runtime code.
+
+Julian Squires:
+ He worked on Unicode support for the PowerPC platform.
+
+Nikodemus Siivola:
+ He provided build fixes, in particular to tame the SunOS toolchain,
+ implemented package locks, ported the linkage-table code from CMUCL,
+ reimplemented STEP, implemented the compare-and-swap interface, and
+ has fixed many bugs besides.
+
+Juho Snellman:
+ He provided a number of bug fixes and performance enhancements to
+ the compiler, the standard library functions, and to the garbage
+ collector. He ported and enhanced the statistical profiler written
+ by Gerd Moellmann for CMU CL. He completed the work on the x86-64
+ port of SBCL.
+
+Brian Spilsbury:
+ He wrote Unicode-capable versions of SBCL's character, string, and
+ stream types and operations on them. (These versions did not end up
+ in the system, but did to a large extent influence the support which
+ finally did get merged.)
+
+Robert Swindells:
+ He ported SBCL to NetBSD/Sparc.
