acknowledgement

[taylor13]

@dnadeau4 The acknowledgements (https://cmor.llnl.gov/acknowledgements/ ) mentions lots of folks, but doesn't mention that CMOR was conceived and originally designed by me, and CMOR1 was largely coded by me, with substantial contributions from Charles.
I also think it would be appropriate to include our names somewhere on https://cmor.llnl.gov/ since I wrote most of that text. (We should update it in several places to reflect application to CMIP6)

[taylor13]

Also, you should include yourself, Charles and me as authors on the pdf https://cmor.llnl.gov/pdf/mydoc.pdf

@taylor13 can you make modification to this text to reflect the new acknowledgements.

@taylor13 this is a very old issue, feel motivated to update the blurb? I'd also add Guillaume L to the list, as he provided some PrePARE tweaks which made their way into the repo

Acknowledgements

Several individuals have supported the development of the CMOR1 software and provided encouragement, including Dean Williams, Dave Bader, and Peter Gleckler. Jonathan Gregory, Jim Boyle, and Bob Drach all provided valuable suggestions on how to simplify or in other ways improve the design of this software, and we particularly appreciate the time they spent reading and thinking about this problem. Jim Boyle additionally helped in a number of other ways, including porting CMOR to various platforms. Brian Eaton provided his usual careful and thoughtful responses to questions about CF compliance. Finally, we appreciate the encouragement expressed by the WGCM for developing CMOR.

The complete rewrite of CMOR, along with the new capabilities added to version 2, was implemented by Charles Doutriaux. We thank Dean Williams, Bob Drach, Renata McCoy, Jim Boyle, and the British Atmospheric Data Center (BADC). We also thank every one of the “early” adopters of CMOR2 who patiently helped us test and debug CMOR2. In particular we would like to thank Jamie Kettleborough from the UK Metoffice, Stephen Pascoe of the British Atmospheric Data Centre, Joerg Wegner of Zentrum für Marine und Atmosphärische Wissenschaften, Yana Malysheva of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory and Alejandro Bodas-Salcedo of UK Metoffice for the many lines of codes, bug fixes, and sample tests they sent our way

Enhancements to CMOR with capabilities added for version 3 were implemented by Denis Nadeau with help from Charles Doutriaux. We thanks Paul Durack and Martin Juckes who provided inputs, enhancement and solutions to improve flexibility. We also thank the “early” users of CMOR3 for their patience and for helping use improving CMOR3.

Ok, I had a crack, @taylor13 if you have the appetite, this could be further improved, otherwise we could replace the text and close out this issue.

Karl Taylor designed and wrote the original CMOR (version 1; CMOR1) in Fortran, with considerable assistance from Charles Doutriaux. This work benefited from the support and encouragement of several individuals, including Dean Williams, Dave Bader, and Peter Gleckler. Jonathan Gregory, Jim Boyle, and Bob Drach provided valuable insights for simplifying and enhancing the software design, whose thoughtful consideration is greatly acknowledged. Jim Boyle also contributed to the platform portability of CMOR. Brian Eaton offered detailed guidance regarding CF compliance. The Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) has also been acknowledged for encouraging CMOR1 development.

Charles Doutriaux undertook the complete revision, rewrite in C, and expansion of CMOR into version 2 (CMOR2). Gratitude is extended to Dean Williams, Bob Drach, Renata McCoy, Jim Boyle, and the British Atmospheric Data Center (BADC) for providing feedback and assistance during the early development efforts. The contributions of the early adopters of CMOR2, who diligently assisted in testing and debugging, are especially appreciated. In particular, Jamie Kettleborough (UK Metoffice), Stephen Pascoe (British Atmospheric Data Centre), Joerg Wegner (Zentrum für Marine und Atmosphärische Wissenschaften), Yana Malysheva (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory), and Alejandro Bodas-Salcedo (UK Metoffice) provided substantial code, bug fixes, and sample tests, for which we are most thankful.

Enhancements leading to the initial CMOR version 3 (CMOR3) were implemented by Denis Nadeau with the assistance of Charles Doutriaux. Christopher Mauzey has developed subsequent versions. Paul Durack, Martin Juckes, and Guillaume Levavasseur provided valuable input, enhancements, and solutions that improved the software's flexibility and performance. The early users of CMOR3 are also acknowledged for their patience and contribution to the software's improvement.
