Unicon Citizens!

Unicon "Citizens" are more than just "users", they have taken responsibility for the Unicon language by improving, maintaining, or porting the code and contributing their results in a way that will be useful to others. Not all of them remain active with Unicon, but their contributions are saluted on this page.

Citizens are entitled to listing on this page, with a short paragraph of biographical information of their choosing. This page helps form our community identity. Names are in alphabetical order. If you aren't on the list and you are a citizen, it is a probably an oversight. :-) If you are not listed and want to be added, or are listed and want to be removed, or want to supply a biography, send e-mail to jeffery
