The Memory Management Reference is maintained by Ravenbrook Limited.

Most of it was originally written by memory management experts in the Adaptive Memory Management Group at Harlequin Limited:

• Nick Barnes
• Richard Brooksby
• David Jones
• David Lovemore
• Tony Mann
• Gavin Matthews
• Pekka P. Pirinen
• Richard Tucker
• P. T. Withington

Gavin Matthews was the original editor of the Memory Management Reference.

The Adaptive Memory Management Group no longer exists, and Harlequin has become a part of Global Graphics. However, most of the group’s work has been aquired by Ravenbrook Limited, whose directors are Richard Brooksby, the group’s chief architect and manager, and Nick Barnes, a senior group member.

Particular thanks go to Richard Jones for his enormously useful book The Garbage Collection Handbook, and for his comments on the Reference.
