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.
As I'm understanding Gabriela, Tim is right. She needs the information for a citation for Gnumeric itself. She supplied the corresponding information for R to illustrate what she needs (and in a citation style that I'm personally unfamiliar with). I think what she is most likely missing is an author or organization that is responsible for Gnumeric and another one that publishes it. As I was looking around in her response to her question, I think the Gnome Foundation (if I'm remembering the name right) might be listed as a publisher; sometimes this can also be used in place of the author.

Perhaps you could explain this more...?

R is similar to the award-winning S system, which was developed at Bell Laboratories by John Chambers et al. It provides a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis, classification, clustering, ...). R is designed as a true computer language with control-flow constructions for iteration and alternation, and it allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. For computationally intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked and called at run time. ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list gnumeric-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list_______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list gnumeric-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
