Other Contributors

We have done our best to note the contributors to the eScriptorium software, but if you or anyone you know is missing then do please let us know.

We are also very grateful for other types of contribution that is not specifically related to the software. We cannot list all of these here, but they include the publication of open datasets (such as those on HTR-United), open models (particularly those on the kraken open model repository), tickets reporting bugs and improvements, writing documentation, organising training sessions, producing plugins and other tools to use with kraken and eScriptorium, and so on.
