Robert,

Interesting project.

I wonder if the list might be more complete and meaningful by including a small list of those whose contributions to any final proof or theory wouid not have otherwise been possible.

In the theme of " . . . on the shoulders of giants"
ie include all the giants and those who stood upon them !

Maybe with some nomenclature keys/codes that show who published, who first theorised/hypothesised and whose other discoveries/research was key to final discovery.

That might also alleviate the quandary of who do you include and who do you exclude.

In much the same way that an author bibliographically acknowledges his sources and a patentor acknowledges prior relevant art.

Just a thought
