-Contributions to the project come in many forms and we **want** to broadly acknowledge those who spend time and effort to improve the project. We understand that many contributions to open source projects are not in the form of changes to the code base and therefore not automatically recognized in the Github repository UI. This is an oversight in the way that Github treats the free, open source project "contributor". Use case specialists have been an extremely important part of the improvement of this typeface as we reach for a goal to be an excellent general purpose typeface for source code. Individuals who have knowledge of the intricacies of open source typeface licensing, understand open source project redistribution processes, have the capacity to view errors and test in unique platform x font renderer situations and many other areas that extend beyond the "source code commit" criterion have contributed their expertise to improve Hack. These contributions are the currency with which a free, open source project is paid back for the benefits that it provides and we recognize their importance to make the project what it is. Understanding this issue, we maintain a [CONTRIBUTORS.md](docs/CONTRIBUTORS.md) list to acknowledge project contributors for their time and efforts under our own defintion of a project contribution. If you feel that you have helped to improve Hack and your contributions have been overlooked (i.e. you are not included on the contributors list), please let us know so that we can rectify this issue! In all likelihood this is an oversight and not intended to be a slight.
