Leanpub: Publish Early, Publish Often

Acknowledgements

First and foremost I would like to express my thanks to Vladimir Agafonkin. He is the driving force behind leaflet.js. His efforts in bringing Leaflet to the World and constantly improving it are tireless and his altruism in making his work open and available to the masses is inspiring.

Vladimir has worked with a large collection of like-minded individuals in bringing Leaflet to the World. These contributors also deserve honours for the work on leaflet.js. At the time of writing there are over 100 contributors listed on GitHub.

Those who write the plugins also deserve a special thanks. In the same way that Leaflet provides an excellent framework to work on, the diversity and ingenuity of the available plugins is staggering. There are so many that I am not going to attempt to single any one out for individual praise. Instead, please accept my heartfelt thanks as a group of dedicated individuals.

I don’t want to forget to mention a special group that could be easily overlooked in receiving thanks here. The tile makers. If you’re not entirely sure what I mean by this, don’t worry, it will all become clearer as you read on. Without the map tiles, there would be no maps. These organisations provide a valuable resource that Leaflet leverages and I would like to recognise them as well.

Lastly, I want to pay homage to Leanpub who have made the publishing of this document possible. They offer an outstanding service for self-publishing and have made the task of providing and distributing content achievable.
