The line mentioning Jambunathan K was committed by me not by the
maintainer.  Don't be misled by what the annotate says, it shows who
made the most recent edit and not added the original line.

ps: If the maintainer is removing acknowledgements he should also remove
the files - both from regular org and contrib.

Someone from the community can fork ox-html.el and ox-odt.el.  I will
still make the files available via GNU ELPA and maintain it from Emacs
Bzr Repo.  Since the copyright is assigned to FSF, GNU ELPA will be the
best place to distribute it and I can also have an element of control on
who commits to the file and what gets committed.

ps: I don't claim original ownership of ox-html.el but if I remove the
commits I made to that file, you will be left with something that is
really not useful.

Jambunathan K.

What this means is that if the file of which I am one of the author or
one of the principal author (if moved to GNU ELPA and re-distributed
with regular Org distribution), I will vehemently argue that my efforts
are acknowledged in the Org manual.

They are: http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=728793

I did not mention your efforts to destroy this community but I can.

It looks like Bastien has removed you from his *personal*
acknowledgments. Since these are meant to express his sentiments, this
is understandable given the acrimonious exchanges between you two.

I agree that your good work should be acknowledged in the manual. In the
List of Contributions, I find this line:

   * Jambunathan K contributed the ODT exporter.
  
Perhaps this is the place to flesh out your contributions? The line
seems somewhat dated to me.

Peace,
Tom

I update this line to include the rewrite of the HTML exporter.
If there are other important contributions to the code or to the
community (e.g., bug reports, bug fixes, etc.), I will include
them here.

Fair enough.

The acknowledgements can be removed or altered only if there is reason
enough to justify it.

Remember, you are a maintainer of a community project and you really
don't have a Carte Blanche to do what pleases you.  Just wanted to get
that message straight.
