Many thanks to every person who has contributed to translating Moodle into different languages. Each translation takes many hours of work, as there are over 1000 phrases to translate (plus all the help files!). Many of the languages have more than one contributor, sometimes working together and sometimes they've taken over the work from a previous person.
Maintaining a list of everyone here is too difficult. For the most up-to-date information see the Language download page.
Themes give Moodle sites some colour and life. Here are all the themes carried as part of the Moodle distribution, along with their authors:
- standard* and cordoroyblue, by Martin Dougiamas
- oceanblue, by Mitsuhiro Yoshida, http://mitstek.com
- brightretro, by Thomas Murdock, http://sand-paper.org
- garden, by Spiggy, http://phpgirl.com
Thanks to all of you who have
- donated via the Donations page,

- participated in the Moodle Community

Some of Moodle's libraries were written by other people, and are being redistributed as part of Moodle under their respective open source licenses that thankfully allow us to do so. My thanks go out to the authors of all these excellent products - without them Moodle would be missing important functionality. Copyright information for each package is included below:
