Re: How to have correct citation of gnumeric

[ken <gebser mousecar com>]

If she's after names of people, that's going to be a few names.  This is 
open source, after all.  But in that case in the package itself (and I 
don't know which one she used) she should go through the files contained 
in that package.  I just looked quickly through them and there are 
especially files called README*, CITATION, COPYRIGHTS, and probably 
others containing names of people who contributed effort.  The CITATION 
files contain citations to scholarly journal articles... maybe that's 
what she's after???  And there may be yet other files she would want to 
see.  There are a lot of *.html files too in that package.  Anyway, 
maybe she needs to look in the files already installed on her computer.
