Project Name
## Committers, contributors et alias This page lists all people who have gone the extra mile and supported Castor in one way or another. This list includes committers, contributors, people who have contributed to the project's documentation, and people who advanced the project by providing us with valuable feedback. If you would like to get involved, the first step is to join the mailing lists. We kindly ask that you not send us emails privately (e.g. asking for support). We are non-paid volunteers who help out with the project and we do not necessarily have the time or energy to help people on an individual basis. Instead, we have set up mailing lists which often contain hundreds of individuals. The benefit of using mailing lists instead of private communication is that these mailing lists are a shared resource where others can also learn from your messages. This is true whether your request contains a problem description, advice, or even a common mistake, and as a community we all grow together. In addition, use of mailing lists enables us to maintain searchable archives of these mailing lists that cover a vast range of questions and answers related to the use of Castor. We simply cannot overstate the importance of these archives. Committer Committers are contributors who have written lots of important code, sacrificing all social events, and becoming a hermit at the expense of providing good tools for people they don't even know. In return for their love and devotion you may bug them with questions, bug fixes, patches and offer them free beer.
