Acknowledgements

We would like to thank the following organizations and corporations for supporting and sponsoring the development of eXist:

The new indexing engine featured in eXist, for Versions 1.1 and all subsequent releases, is made possible through the agency of the University of Victoria node of the Canadian TAPoR consortium, who have made it available for general use. TAPoR
Trapeze Networks, headquartered in Pleasanton, Calif., has continuously sponsored improvements and new features since 2004 and helped to advance development by testing and deploying eXist in a production environment.
Major parts of the XQuery implementation were motivated and sponsored by the project: "Exemplarische Internet-Edition der Werke des jungen Goethe und Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz'", funded by the Fritz-Thyssen Stiftung. Project lead: Prof. Dr. Karl Eibl (Institut für Deutsche Philologie, Ludwig- Maximilians- Universität München), Prof. Dr. Fotis Jannidis (Institut für Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft, TU Darmstadt).
The eXist Wiki, the demo server and other vital parts of our project infrastructure are kindly hosted by CSW Group Ltd. in the UK.
The Devon Portal Project sponsored development of several small bug fixes mainly in XHTML serialization and donated the mail and context extension modules. The Devon Portal is a partnership of Local Authorities in Devon, UK.
