 Acknowledgements
 ----------------
+
+The DataLad software and its documentation are the joint work of more than 100 individuals.
+We are deeply grateful for these contributions to free and open source software (FOSS) and documentation.
+Likewise we are grateful to the many more people that produce and maintain the FOSS ecosystem that DataLad is built on.
+We are particularly indebted to Joey Hess, the author of the git-annex software, without which DataLad would not be what it is today.

 The DataLad project received support through the following grants:
 
 * US-German collaboration in computational neuroscience (CRCNS) project "DataGit: converging catalogues, warehouses, and deployment logistics into a federated 'data distribution'" (Halchenko/Hanke), co-funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF 1429999) and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF 01GQ1411).
