2011 Credited Contributors

The following people or organizations are being publicly acknowledged because they provided us with substantive comments on the drafts. This public document is markedly improved thanks to their expert feedback.

Additionally, without the advice and collaboration from Alan Paller and Dennis Kirby from the SANS Institute, this effort would not be what it has become. Finally, CWE Team members Janis Kenderdine, Brendan Miles, John Mazella, Sean Barnum, and Scott Bennett deserve our endless thanks for their tireless and timely help in updating the CWE items and getting this material into a usable form on the web site.
