This link points to a primer on the magic source code, its files, data structures, and methods, and other helpful tidbits gleaned from years of delving into the code.
In the spirit of open-source development, I have acquired my own development team of dedicated people helping out with various aspects of the version 7.2 and 7.3 development. The list is too long to print here, and I would just end up leaving out a lot of hard-working contributers. However, some people deserve to be mentioned for critical help with certain aspects of the code development. They are (in addition to the ones mentioned above):Let us know if you want to join! The discussion group's mailing address is magic-dev@csl.cornell.edu
- Tim Edwards (Johns Hopkins APL)
- Mike Godfrey (Stanford, Pixeldevices)
- Wes Hansford (MOSIS)
- Rajit Manohar (Cornell)
- Mika Nyström (Caltech)
