This book is the effort of several authors who have contributed to one edition or another since the first edition was released. Much of the material for the first and second edition came from three authors: Jerry Peek, Tim O'Reilly, and Mike Loukides. They're work is still present, though edited for current times. This third edition brought in four new authors, who edited the previous material, in addition to contributing new articles: Shelley Powers, Steven Champeon, Deborah Hooker, and Joe Johnston.
In addition, we also had several other authors contribute to all three editions -- either people who originally posted a good tip to Usenet, authors of Nutshell Handbooks who let us take material from their books, or authors of software packages who let us take a few paragraphs from README files or other documentation.
Here's a list of authors and their initials:
