This is a list of people who have contributed to Crystal Space in one way or another. Some of these people are no longer active with Crystal Space and may not be reachable. This list is sorted alphabetically by first name.
Alessandro contributed a patch for the X11 driver which allows simultaneous keypresses and disables autorepeat. This makes movement much smoother.
Alex integrated Crystal Space with the VCOLLIDE library for collision detection. Later he removed VCOLLIDE and used RAPID instead. He then rewrote RAPID to work better with Crystal Space. He also contributed the (long defunct) DDG landscape engine.
Anders fixed csGetTicks() to be multi-thread safe and also made sure it
does not overflow.
Anders added the ODE based dynamics plugin. He also wrote the original (and now obsolete) effect-system which was the first integration of more advanced OpenGL features into Crystal Space. Anders was also one of the initiators and main contributors to the new advanced rendering system. He also worked on the (now defunct) PicoGUI plugin.
Andon patched 3ds2lev so it works correctly for non-texture mapped 3DS objects.
Andreas made a few fixes to Crystal Space, and applied numerous corrections for typographical errors in the Crystal Space manual.
Andreas re-wrote and cleaned up the WAV loader.
Andrew added a (now defunct) GGI driver to Crystal Space. GGI information available at:

Andrew made several fixes and optimizations. He also created partedit, the particle editor.
Andrew worked on shader expressions, the PicoGUI plugin, and made a few other changes.
Andrew was a major contributor to the project. He was one of those developers who did far more work than can possibly be detailed in this small blurb, and his contribution to Crystal Space is far more extensive than this tiny entry implies. Here is an excerpt of his contributions:
DrawPolygon() and
DrawPolygonQuick() in the software renderer.
Ang See contributed a set of textures.
Anis updated the very early makefiles for Watcom C++ for both Crystal Space and (the defunct) CSAR. He also made an early Crystal Space editor for Windows 95.

Boyan contributed a lightning plugin. Boyan also added several features to AWS.
Brad provided the original CVS hosting for Crystal Space.
Brandon contributed the original csPython and csLua modules for scripting. (The Python module has undergone complete re-write by Rene Jager since that time, and the Lua module has been dropped for lack of maintenance.) Using csPython he wrote an Unreal map-to-Crystal Space convertor. Brandon also worked on the never completed (and long defunct) PlayStation2 port. He made some improvements to `csQuaternion'. He added the (now non-existant) `newdoc' directory with LaTeX documentation (which was dropped in favor of Texinfo). Later Brandon worked on a cal3d convertor for Crystal Space and a motion manager plugin (both of which have been completely subsumed by more recent and functional modules by other contributors).
Brendan worked on a memory canvas which can render directly to a memory buffer instead of a window.
Brett fixed a bug in the X11 canvas which caused it to crash at exit when the window was closed by the window manager.
Brian provided some FreeBSD patches.
Bruce helped optimize the (presently defunct) Direct3D driver. He also contributed a set of conversion utilities to load 3DS, `.mdl', etc. files.

Christopher is the author and creator of the Alternate Windows System AWS for Crystal Space. He also added the (now defunct) cslexan (lexical analyzer) plugin. Before he started work on the AWS, he contributed to CSWS. Christopher also created the terrbig terrain plugin, and contributed a platform independent memory mapper.
Conor performed some optimization of the 16-bit scanline routines in the software renderer following optimizations by Olivier Langlois. He was also the main inspiration source for the current visibility algorithm work done at that time.
Dan was the DJGPP port maintainer for a time.
Dan provided a patch for `printf()' to make it work with the Windows port. Dan made the Direct3D port for Windows. He greatly enhanced the Windows port and also added 16-bit support for Windows. He also spearheaded the (now defunct) movement to make the 3D and 2D drivers COM-compliant, and supplied a skeleton COM framework for non-Windows platforms. He also contributed the early halo code to Crystal Space.
Daniel contributed the `csOBB' class (Oriented Bounding Box). He also made the terrbig plugin and helped develop the ODE dynamics plugin. He did a good deal of work on the new rendering system; especially the shadow system. He also worked on the new terrain engine (for new renderer).
Daniel did some work on the physics engine and collision detection.
Daniel found and fixed a couple bugs: one memory leak, and one incorrect calculation of vertex count.
Desmond helped a bit on `map2cs' and updated its documentation. He also pointed out several bugs and errors in Crystal Space.
Darius was busy with 3D sprites. He contributed some unfinished stubs for his work. Unfortunately he seemed to have stopped supporting it. His unfinished code was retired and replaced completely with an implementation by Jorrit.
David enhanced the DOS port made by Murat. He added C++ classes and VESA support. David also wrote the original Pentium assembler version of `scan.cpp' in the software renderer.
David added support for SpriteSockets, a mechanism for attaching sprites to specific places on other sprites.

Denis contributed a routine to split a convex object into slices parallel to the view plane (useful for volumetric fog). He added a progress bar to the console (during lighting) and added a new way to do bilinear filtering for the software renderer. He also dramatically improved the quality of the precalculated lightmaps in the software renderer. Denis improved the movement system in WalkTest by implementing gravity and better collision detection (using the collision detection system from Alex Pfaffe). He added the (defunct) metademo application which was later reworked to become the `metaballs' mesh object. He also fixed a number of bugs.
Doug helped fixed a possible memory leak with SHM extension in the X11 driver.
Dmitry helped by running Purify and solving numerous bugs that way. He also contributed (now defunct) makefiles for IRIX/SGI.
Eric is one of the developers who does far more work than can possibly be detailed in this small blurb, and his contribution to Crystal Space is far more extensive than this tiny entry implies. His contributions include:
Eric applied a few Windows-specific patches to the networking code.
Erik contributed the (now defunct) ensocket network plugin.
FragDance contributed a WAL/SGI loader, and added initial support for alpha maps to the texture loaders. He also contributed to the halo code.
Frank maintained the Windows port of Crystal Space for a while. One of the first tasks he undertook was a reorganization of the MSVC project files. He also helped with project maintenance in general.
Frank has done too much to mention. He has worked a great deal on many parts of the project, making from minor to large-scale changes, ranging from the build system, to the plugin system, to the renderer, to the engine. He has done a lot of work on the new renderer architecture, and has been a driving force in improving localization and internationalization support.
Fritz fixed some bugs in sprcal3d, map2cs, null renderer, VFS, `csStringArray', etc.
Gary designed the basic framework of the `Graphics3D' class (which later became `csGraphics3D', and which later spawned the `iGraphics3D' interface). Gary also made an extension to optionally allow the use of accurate RGB light sourcing in the software renderer. (It is optional because it slows the texture cache.) He also supplied a patch to fix the problem with the X11 driver where it would not start drawing until an expose event was generated. He contributed the `lin_joy.cpp' file, which provided an example of how to use the joystick from within GNU/Linux. (This was never integrated into the project, however Norman Kraemer much later provided a GNU/Linux joystick plugin which is part of the project.)
Gary wrote the original OpenGL renderer, as well as the early importers for 3DS and `.md2' models.
George added an SDL canvas plugin and reported some bugs.
Gert wrote the GNU/Linux drivers for the sound system and also converted the SVGALIB driver to COM (way back when COM was used in the project. He also helped develop the GNU/Linux-Glide and OpenGL ports.

Hariharan wrote the "pathtut tutorial" for Crystal Space, which shows how to
use the csPath class to smoothly move an object along some path.
Helge suggested the algorithm for texel filtering used by the software renderer.
Ivan cleaned up the matrix/vector code and rewrote the `csCamera' class. He also helped a lot with cleaning up the perspective projection and clipping, in which he made some considerable improvements. He also helped fix a lot of bugs with portals and clipping. Ivan also enhanced the image loader classes to make it possible to dynamically add new image formats even with a pre-compiled Crystal Space library. He re-wrote the map loader routines and added the `csObject' library. He also separated the very early scripting support from the engine.

importer to recognize actions, fixed some bugs in mdl2spr, fixed some bugs in
3ds2lev, fixed some bugs in the engine, resolved some memory leak fixes,
dlopen() fixes, fixed a few bugs in Blocks, and some other smaller
changes.

Martin converted many of the Crystal Space text and LaTeX documents to Texinfo format. He contributed a random dungeon generation plug-in module, as well as a sample program which demonstrates its use. Martin added the model data classes and rewrote the old model importer in a more modular way. He also cleaned up some of the utility classes, parts of the (defunct) system driver and parts of the engine, added the configuration manager which was designed by Eric Sunshine, changed many applications to use the "engine" as a plug-in (rather than linking it statically), and added the simplept application. He added "fast interfaces" to SCF. Martin also completely rewrote the "Software" and "DirectSound" sound renderers, and modified the map file loader and the image loader to work as plug-ins.
Matt contributed an OpenGL driver, a CoreGraphics driver, and a CoreAudio driver for the MacOS/X port of Crystal Space.

minor features. He also fixed several bugs, most importantly, buggy
implementations of HitBeamObject() in several mesh objects; and fixed
bounding box problems. He moved "metaballs" to a mesh object plugin, and
added a blobby texture for them. He wrote the motion manager and contributed a
shuttle model for "csdemo".
Mike added fullscreen support to the X11 canvas.
Murat was the first contributor for Crystal Space. He provided the first patches and changes to port Crystal Space to DOS.
Nathaniel was an eager Crystal Space fan. He even had his own web page (now defunct) dedicated to Crystal Space.
He enhanced Arnold's DOS port so that it worked with the Watcom C++ compiler. He also suggested and implemented a restructuring of the platform-dependent code with every port having its own directory. He is also the original author of the `simpcon' input/output console. Nathaniel was also the first to actually present Jorrit with an almost working Windows 95 version with source. Nathaniel is responsible for much of the early sound support code in Crystal Space (mostly now rewritten). He made the basic sound system, wrote the Windows drivers and wrote support for 3D sound. Nathaniel created a Windows/DOS configuration utility which allowed easier editing of `cryst.cfg' (an old-time configuration file). In addition he also enhanced the (now non-existant) CSAR utility. He also helped develop the Windows/Direct3D and Windows/OpenGL versions and is co-author of the (now defunct) Glide port. He made some enhancements to the 3D sprites including two convertors from Quake `.mdl' and Quake 2 `.md2' to Crystal Space (now combined into the single mdl2spr utility.

Noah fixed numerous problems and made some large-scale changes to AWS.
Noah helped out on Michael Ewert's csPhyzik library.
Norman contributed several fixes and new features and helped with code cleanup. In particular he worked on the sound code, the engine, CSWS and the graphics drivers. He also worked on the image loaders. For example he split the former monolithic image loader into several modules, added write-support to many of them, fixed the BMP loader to be endian correct and added RLE8 encoding to the BMP loader. Norman also added the `csQuaternion' class and updated the (now defunct) Glide drivers. Norman contributed a FreeType font server plug-in. He added a grid-view to CSWS. He also added a sound renderer using the "artsd" sound server that comes with the "aRts" system (www.arts-project.org). Norman added an export script for Blender. He added texture coordinate animation to 2D sprites. He worked on the video file streamer. Norman also added the (unused and removed) `csCrystalBall' culler and the fancy console plugin. In addition he also did a good deal of work on the OpenGL renderer (mostly support for extensions). Norman worked on AWS and created a convertor from QT to AWS. Norman also added several sound related modules, such as "ogg".
Oliver made a few fixes to the event system in and ported an early Crystal Space to Borland C++. He also found and fixed some memory leaks. He contributed the `MemoryHeap' class for the texture cache in the software renderer. Olivier ported the GCC assembler functions to Visual C++ and implemented a few additional Visual C++ assembly functions. He implemented the BMP loader. He also optimized and helped optimize several key-functions in the engine pipe-line. For example, he managed to nearly double the speed of the assembler scanline routines. Lightmap generation and math functions were also improved.
Oriol fixed an OpenGL lightmap alignment bug.
Patrick is co-author of the Autoconf CS_PATH_CRYSTAL() macro which
foreign projects can employ to determine if Crystal Space is installed.
Paul contributed a (now defunct) makefile for Windows NT using GCC and helped to maintain that port.

Peter fixed some issues and bugs with the early sound drivers.
Petr helped fix the Glide driver on Windows, and added XML output to `map2cs'.
Phil suggested a statistics counter to illuminate the number of polygons
considered and drawn each frame. He helped Nathaniel to get the Windows 32-bit
port working. Phil patched find_rgb_slow() in the software renderer to
make it slightly faster (but he forgot to rename it to
find_rgb_slow_somewhat_faster(). :-)
Philip added software cursor drawing to the SVGALIB canvas.
Philip acted as general maintainer of the Window port for quite a while (and performed some general maintenance), wrote build instructions for MSVC, Mingw, and Cygwin, and created installable packages of support libraries for Crystal Space on Windows, from time to time.
Philipp helped work on the new OpenGL renderer and also participated in its design discussions.
Philipp helped with optimizing the texture cache in the software renderer. He also helped optimize a few other routines.
