I contributed and my name does not appear to be listed.
Sorry about this, unfortunately the list hasn't been updated with the last names we received. It will for sure in the next beta.

Even all the early bird member are no more there. Does that mean we are no more relevant? What a better way to reward or slight the group that make gns3 what they are today.
No you are very relevant and we are sorry if you name doesn't appear yet in the list.
@Technologov
I am sorry you feel that way but I don't think we have been disrespectful here. It is true we forgot to give credits in the about dialog but we were simply focused on building features. I apologize for this. However, this version of GNS3 is a complete rewrite and the number of people who have contributed to this version is limited.

That's completely untrue.
He still uses dynagen/dynamips/vboxwrapper/... written by other people.
There is no 95% code written by Jeremy.
Actually around 95% code of GNS3 itself is written by me. The software you mentioned are external tools/dependencies. To be more specific:
- Dynagen is not used at all in the new GNS3.
- Dynamips is a completely separate project, even if I agree we could never thanks Chris and the people who contribute to this project enough.
- Vboxwrapper is also an external dependency that I did not plan to use but did anyway because of the vboxapi/xpcom module not working with Python3.
The only pieces of code I have taken are from vboxwrapper (and are actually yours) and I have modified them a bit, you can have a look by yourself:

I recommend adding new tab to Help->About
Help->About->Developers (tab)
should list developers (including of critical components, that were done for GNS3 specifically: Dynamips/Dynagen/confDynagen/pemuwrapper/qemuwrapper/vboxwrapper ... + VPCS, as it was done for GNS3 specifically).
Not required to list generic Open-source component developers: pyQt/Qt/VirtualBox/python/putty/wireshark... as those projects were not developed for GNS3 specifically. Although those projects could be mentioned by project name...
This should also mention translations.

Original developers of GNS3-specific software (Dynagen) should be written in our help->about... as for new contributors... we can add once in a while to our list. (there aren't many)
We will take these suggestions into consideration for the next release.
One last thing: relax! This is only beta ;)
Cheers,
