Thanks and Credits
In first place, the greatest thanks are due to the Packard Humanities Institute and the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae for having had the foresight to create these indispensable databases so many years ago.
Diogenes was created by Peter Heslin, but the project would not have been possible without the help of many other people over the years.
-
Two grants from the Durham University Research Impact Fund enabled Nick White to work on Diogenes for a period of six months, during which time he laid the groundwork for Version 4. Nick completely reworked the Diogenes build process to make it sane and he did most of the work in porting the application to Electron. He contributed many excellent features and original ideas.
-
The development of the XML export functionality was sponsored by DigiLibLT. Thanks to Maurizio Lana for making that happen.
-
The morphological data and dictionaries for Greek and Latin that are included in Diogenes come from the Perseus Digital Library. The publication by Perseus of its data under open access licensing is an enormous public benefit. My thanks to Greg Crane, Neel Smith and Gabe Weaver for facilitating the incorporation of the Perseus data into Diogenes.
-
Thanks to Helma Dik for contributing Logeion's corrected version of the Perseus digitization of the Greek and Latin lexica.
-
The development of versions 3.0 and 3.1 of Diogenes was supported by the Center for Hellenic Studies. My thanks to Greg Nagy and Lenny Muellner for their encouragement and support.
-
Stefan Hagel contributed several useful patches to improve the user interface, including icons for navigation, sidebar improvements, and autofocusing the most important input elements.
-
The late Nathan Trapuzzano contributed a number of patches to the Perl code.
-
Jiang Qian contributed and corrected the dating data to permit chronological ordering of TLG searches.
-
Thanks to the many users who have contributed invaluable testing and bug reporting.
