Since 2004, Mongoose is being constantly improved by me, Sergey Lyubka, a software engineer
from Galway, Ireland. My other software I give to the community for free is
[Super Light Regular Expression library](http://code.google.com/p/slre).
If you feel grateful for the stuff I've done, you can buy me a book from my
[Amazon wishlist](http://amzn.com/w/1OC2ZCPTQYIEP?sort=priority). Many thanks to all who
already did so: T.Barmann, D.Hughes, J.C.Sloan, R.Romeo and 4 others.
