+The following people have contributed to 'sysstat' in one way or another:
+
+	First I would like to thank Michael <michael [at] roka.net>: He is the
+	very first person to have given me feedback about sysstat, and to
+	point out to me that certain fields in /proc/stat didn't have the
+	meaning I thought they had. This was in 1999!
+
+	Many thanks to the translators involved in sysstat:
+
+	  * Birko Bergt <birko.bergt [at] gmx.de> for his translation into
+	    German,

+	    translation into Spanish (now maintained by Muralito
+	    <muralito [at] montevideo.com.uy>),
