The processing of creating a book like Making the Web Work involves a number of different people, talents, and skills. The four editors listed here faced the unenviable task of reading my early drafts and providing me with their comments, suggestions, and guidance. Every page, if not every paragraph of the book bears some imprint of their feedback. Responsible parties are as folows:
