+The THANKS file:
+
+All distributions should contain a `THANKS' file containing a two column list
+of the contributors, one per line, alphabetically sorted. The left column gives
+the contributor's name, while the right column gives the last known good email
+address for this contributor. This list should be introduced with a wording
+similar to this one:
+
+ MaNGOS THANKS file
+
+ MaNGOS has originally been written by Team Python and WoW Daemon Team. Many
+ people further contributed to MaNGOS by reporting problems, suggesting various
+ improvements or submitting actual code.
+
+ Here is a list of these people. Help me keep it complete and exempt of errors.
+
+ Special thanks should also go out to the WowwoW team. We have gained help from
+ them many times in the creation of this project. Keep up the good work guys.
+
+ Thanks should also go out to the Ludmilla team, who are also providing the
+ community with a great server. We have not gained too much help from them,
+ but we have recieved some.
+
+The easiest policy with this file is to thank everyone who contributes to the
+project, without judging the value of the contribution.
+
+Unlike `AUTHORS', the `THANKS' file is not maintained for legal reasons. It is
+maintained to thank all the contributors that helped you out in your project.
+The `AUTHORS' file can not be used for this purpose because certain
+contributions, like bug reports or ideas and suggestions do not require legal
+paper exchanges.
+
+You can also decide to send some kind of special greeting when you initially
+add a name to your `THANKS' file. The mere presense of a name in `THANKS' is
+then a flag to you that the initial greeting has been sent.
