a thank-you note

This guide wasn't done out of thin air. Feedback, examples, and suggestions for revisions from many people took it from an article about ways to ask questions to a more complete guide to collaboration in the technical community.

benefactor

Evelyn Mitchel contributed some examples of silly questions and inspired the section How to answer questions better.

Mikhail Ramendik contributed some particularly valuable suggestions and improvements.

Why retain acknowledgements

The technical community relies on ongoing corrections and additions. Documenting contributors is not just a courtesy, it's also a reminder to readers that good documentation, like good problems, is the result of collaboration and iterative polishing by multiple people.
