The CoRIS project and web site is the product of the combined efforts of many people over the course of several years. As with any project, the participants change, but the contributions of individuals remain long after they have moved on to other activities. The names and affiliated institutions of current contributors to the project and Web site are listed below. The names of past contributors are available on the Acknowledgments to Past Contributors page.
