A work in progress
This list is very much a work in progress as we amalgamate and update the lists of our many contributors. The Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory is truly a community project indebted to the generosity of so many people who gave of their time in a wide range of ways.
We have tried to track all contributions to the CWRC system. (Individual projects track contributions to their content and sites independently.) If you don't find yourself and your contribution represented here, or you find an error, please be in touch with us at cwrc/at/ualberta[dot]ca.

CWRC-Writer:
The CWRC-Writer in-browser XML and RDF Editor is a centerpiece of the CWRC system, allowing users to move easily between consuming and producing scholarship either by modifying the text directly, if they have permissions, or by creating stand-off annotations. It was developed by Open Sky Solutions of Hamilton, Ontario.
