As well as the authors of the papers that are included in this handbook, there are a few people who deserve special mention because of their contributions and support for this work:

John Hughes and Tom Rodden,  who started it all off when they met at a CSCW conference and discovered that they both worked at Lancaster.

Mark Rouncefield, who was one of the first to cross the disciplinary divide and who moved from Sociology to Computing at Lancaster.

Cliff Jones, who took a leap of faith in including socio-technical folks in the DIRC IRC.

Dave Cliff, who supported this work in the LSCITS project.

Tom Grimes, a student at St Andrews, who did a lot of the donkey work in collecting papers and rehosting web sites for the handbook;

John Rooksby, who helped in organizing and managing the work.

Mark Rouncefield, Dave Martin and Jo Mackie (now Jo Hillman) who were the original developers of the web sites on making ethnography accessible, patterns of cooperative interaction and ‘war stories’.

Jackie Forsyth and Chris Needham, administrators of the CSEG group at Lancaster, who took over the everyday tasks of project management and did it so much better than us academics.
