[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Requesting assistance concerning proper author credit at nseries.com/770experience_2/

I'm hoping that someone at Nokia can be of assistance in giving proper
author credit for VNC viewer at the Nokia 770 campaign Web site at
nseries.com/770experience_2/ .  A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail from
Ari Jaaksi, requesting permission to publish VNC viewer on the new
campaign Web site.  In the e-mail, it was indicated that proper credit
would be given to the developer.  At the time I received the e-mail, I was
on vacation and didn't see the e-mail until a little over a week later, at
which point I responded both to Ari and campaign at nokia.com.  I didn't hear
back and sent another e-mail this week--so far, no response.

Currently, VNC viewer shows up on the campaign Web site, but credit is
given to Derek Coleman, who took the most recent version of the software
that I released for IT2005 and ported it to IT2006 (the diff indicates
that the changes were minimal).  There were no other changes, but for
whatever reason, Derek indicated that he was the sole author on the maemo
IT2006 software list wiki page.  Since then, Detlef Schmicker has made
some changes to the source code, and I'm finally getting back to
development, after taking a break in order to get married.

I would appreciate it if someone from Nokia could rectify this situation.  
I spent many hours working on the original IT2005 version, and Detlef has
also spent a good deal of time fixing outstanding bugs, making performance
enhancements, adding some new features, and responding to users.

Thanks,
Aaron Levinson
