+===========================
+
+This list is too long too mention. If you want to have an idea of all the
+various contributions we've got, please check the CVS commit logs. If we
+would attempt to list the people here other people would surely be forgotten
+and feel left out.
+
+Let's leave it at telling you that several hundreds of people have
+contributed code, helpful information, documentation, translations or
+useful bug reports to Kopete, making Kopete what it is now.
+
+If you contributed to Kopete, you know who you are, and many thanks for
+the work you've done!
