MSnbase contributors 2010 - 2020

I wrote the first MSnbase contributions post on the 27 November 2016 (udpated on the 4 January 2018), exactly 1247 day (3 years and 5 months) ago. It is time for another short update.

The figure below summarises the (updated) contributors over time.

Since my first public commit on Mon 4 October 2010 at 23:35:23 (that’s over 9.5 years), the package benefited from contributions from Guangchuang Yu, Samuel Wieczorek, Cosmin Lazar, Vlad Petyuk, Thomas Naake, Sebastian Gibb (who has since become core developer/maintainer), Richie Cotton, Martina Fischer, Johannes Rainer (also a core developer/maintainer) and Arne Smits. Since earlier this year, there’s now also Steffen Neuman.

Steffen Neumann

Steffen and I have already been working and developing packages together. We have been maintaing mzR for 8.5 years. Earlier this month, he contributed support for the MzTab-M 2.0 format for metabolomics data and reintroduced support for writing MzTab data.

This tallies the number of contributions to 12 so far. Thank you very much!
