Steve Hales is the creator of so many programs from Synapse Software (SynCalc, SynFile...), we owe him so much! In 2015 he has given us the source code for Fort Apocalypse, further he has given us the source code listing from Star Raiders.
If you don't know Bill Wilkinson, you don't know anything of Atari and OSS, not even a single bit!

!! Curtis T. 'Curt' Vendel (1966-2020)
At line 19 changed one line
Clinton W. Parker is the creator of the Action! computer language. He has given us the source code of his outstanding language.
Curt Vendel was a former Atari employee(?) and provides us with extreme rare information, files etc., who are essential for the restoration of Atari's past. Curt took personal risks to save as much original Atari hardware as possible. He saved the Atari Accountant for us, an incredible amount of source code files (still to come), Silent Butler 80 and so many ultra rare hardware, software and information, the community would be much, much poorer now without it!

!! Kathleen O'Brien
Kathleen O'Brien is the big woman in the beginning of Atari. She starts with Shepardson Microsystems, Inc. (SMI) and moved later to Optimized Systems Software (OSS). She wrote the very first Assembler for the Atari, the Atari Assembler Editor cartridge. We can’t thank her enough, for all she has done for Atari! Thank you so much.
!! Mike Peters
!!Harry Stewart
Harry Stewart has given the community such a great gift with all the source codes he provided for us, so Atari can go on forever. Harry will never be forgotten due to his work, he is already in our hearts forever. If there would be a Cecil B. DeMille Award for Atari, Harry Stewart would deserve it for sure.

Thank you so much Harry Stewart, we are deeply in your debt and can't thank you enough. Thank you so much. :-)))

Alfred has preserved the Action! source code from being lost and shred it with us, after the o. k. from the creator, Clinton W. Parker. Further, he shared with the Atari community rare Action! programs, which were lost over the decades. He is vital for the Atari community.

In 1989 Uwe Röder wrote [Hypra-Soft-Basic], which was and still is the one and only Basic for Atari making reliable and mathematical correct calculations. All math floating point routines were rewritten and are the best possible condition. In 2015 Uwe Röder has given us the rights to his Basic.

!! Kay Savetz
Without Kay many things of the now Atari community would be simply even unthinkable! Whether there is a mission impossible concerning Atari, Kay Savetz is our "Jim Phelbs" for these very missions. Kay has done so much for the community, he really deserves a star on the Atari walk of fame. His recent addition was the impossible to find PILOT II language. So much has to be added here, please check in from time to time to continue on this. Kay runs a podcast: http://ataripodcast.libsyn.com/rss which is highly recommended, because all the stars from the golden age are interviewed there. Further, Kay runs his own website: http://www.atariarchives.org/ which is highly recommended, too.

Allan plays a major role in preserving many Atari programs, especially those, who seems to be lost. Without him the restore of the Atari Program Exchange (APX) would not be possible. Allan has further access to programs, which are not even on the far end of the rarity list! Without his contributions Atari would be significant poorer and many problems couldn't been solved. Allan please go ahead, we deeply need you.

He is polymath, speaks all Atari languages, is a man of the first hour, has developed PlatoTerm and the FujiNet adapter with others, which is a milestone in Atari hardware. More to come, please stay tuned. Thom, the Atari community is very deep in your debt! Thank you so much! :-)

Tomasz belongs to the irreplaceables in the Atari community, he has such a deep knowledge into the machines, knows everything of roms and especially the SALT- and OSS-roms, that makes him vital for Atari's future. Without his help a complete restoring of the OSS woouldn't have been possible. He is further the creator of [A8CAS|http://a8cas.sourceforge.net/], which helped us so much in preserving all the good cassette programs for the generations to come. Tomasz, AtariWiki wishes you from the deepest heart a long and porsper life, please stay healthy and continue your outstanding work for the community. We really need you, without any doubt. Please go ahead! :-)))\\

Roland is one of the main contributors to this wiki, he is tireless chasing for lost items, the 'Indiana Jones' of Atari history. Roland was essential in bringing back the Atari Calculator, parts of Action!, BUG/65 and many Atari application programs. Further, the 'Atari Educational System' program with big contributions from Allan Bushman and the complete 'Voice & Data Cassette' language program, which were never be possible without the contributions from Stefan Meyer and Peter Dell. He plays a major role in getting Atari source codes.
