+=head1 THANKS
+
+This tutorial would not have been possible without the input of many
+different people in the Catalyst community. In particular, the
+primary author would like to thank:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+Sebastian Riedel for founding the Catalyst project.
+
+=item *
+
+The members of the Catalyst Core Team for their tireless efforts to
+advance the Catalyst project. Although all of the Core Team members
+have played a key role in this tutorial, it would have never been
+possible without the critical contributions of: Matt Trout, for his
+unfathomable knowledge of all things Perl and Catalyst (& his
+willingness to answer lots of my questions); Jesse Sheidlower, for his
+incrediable skill with the written word and dedication to improving the
+Catalyst documentation ; and Yuval Kogman, for his work on the Catalyst
+"Auth & Authz" plugins (the original focus of the tutorial) and other
+key Catalyst modules.
+
+=item *
+
+Everyone on #catalyst and #catalyst-dev.
+
+=item *
+
+Other Catalyst documentation folks like Kieren Diment, Gavin Henry,
+and Jess Robinson (including their work on the original Catalyst
+tutorial).
+
+=item *
+
+People who have emailed me with corrections and suggestions on the
+tutorial. As of the most recent release, this include: Florian Ragwitz,
+Mauro Andreolini, Jim Howard, Giovanni Gigante, William Moreno, and
+Bryan Roach.
