# The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
Chapter 15 - General information about the FAQ

## 15.1 Authors

The first edition of this FAQ was made and maintained by J.H.M. Dassen (Ray) and Chuck Stickelman. Authors of the rewritten Debian GNU/Linux FAQ are Susan G. Kleinmann and Sven Rudolph. After them, the FAQ was maintained by Santiago Vila. The current maintainer is Josip Rodin.

Parts of the information came from:

- The Debian-1.1 release announcement, by `Bruce Perens`.

- The Linux FAQ, by `Ian Jackson`.

- `Debian Mailing Lists Archives`,

- the dpkg programmers' manual and the Debian Policy manual (see What other documentation exists on and for a Debian system?, Section 11.1)

- many developers, volunteers, and beta testers, and

- the flaky memories of its authors. :-)

The authors would like to thank all those who helped make this document possible.
