These are the winners of the Zimbu awards: Adriaan de Groot: 444 euro award for the best contribution to the A-A-P project Rui Lopes: 222 euro award for the most useful patch for Aap or Agide Joerg Beyer: 111 euro award for the brightest idea for the A-A-P project And of course many thanks to the people who helped improving Aap but didn't get an award. Adriaan de Groot has tracked down a large number of problems and provided solutions. He changed the documentation from SGML to XML and wrote an explanation about how to get the required tools for XML. Adriaan added support for "libtool", helped implementing language modules and improved the robustness of several commands. Rui Lopes made the FreeBSD port of Aap and supplied patches to make installing Aap work a lot better. The quality of his patches was remarkably high. By making the FreeBSD port he also increased the visibility of the A-A-P project. Joerg Beyer has supplied several solutions for tricky problems in the Aap implementation. The scope support was based on his ideas, he made a first implementation for the automatic configuration support and improved the setup for testing. Strangely not much of his code ended up in Aap, but his suggestions were indispensible. Since Adriaan de Groot works not far from where Bram Moolenaar lives, at the University of Nijmegen, the Zimbu award could be handed to him personally.

The quality of the documentation is one of the reasons I ended up sticking with A-A-P and now use it for everything after discarding so many other similar solutions. Thanks Adriaan and the other winners !
