PCP Development

PCP originated on the SGI IRIX platform, with an initial team of developers of the early years working on the proprietary version of PCP. Thanks to these folk for the early years and what remains the core architecture of PCP.

Since PCP was open sourced, there have been many contributors from both inside and outside SGI. Currently, the regular contributors to the core PCP code base are:

OSS team

- Ken McDonell
- Mark Goodwin
- Martin Hicks
- Max Matveev
- Nathan Scott

Thanks to Josef 'Jeff' Sipek who has also contributed several excellent open source PCP components, and also to Michael Werner for his work on the Python API.

PCP GUI Development

Even though pmchart is still a young and developing technology, a number of people have directly contributed to help it reach its current state, many of whom are listed below.

Coding

- Ken McDonell
- Nathan Scott
- Olivier Tarnus

Gnome/KDE desktop integration

- Rodney McKee

Early Linux testers

- Rodney McKee, Chandana De Silva, Mark Goodwin

Early MacOSX testers

- Paul Smith, Nick Blievers

Early Windows testers

- Nigel Donaldson

The pmchart graphical display also makes extensive use of the services offered by two excellent software libraries.

- Qt: Cross-Platform Rich Client Development Framework
- QWT: Qt Widgets for Technical Applications

PCP Glider Development

The PCP Glider project, the native PCP toolkit for Windows, exists thanks to the efforts of several individuals and groups.

The initial port of PCP to Windows used the Cygwin POSIX emulation layer, and was largely a solo effort by Ken McDonell. This was (several years) later abandoned for several technical reasons, and replace with a version that builds on the efforts of the Strawberry Perl and MinGW communities. This version was done largely by Nathan Scott, with assistance from Ken McDonell.

Many thanks to Curtis Jewell from the Strawberry Perl crew for his aid many times in helping with and improving this distribution which forms the base of PCP Glider.
