+Hrvoje's contribution to XEmacs consists of many hours spent working
+on code and taking part in public discussions.
+
+He wrote `savehist' and `htmlize' packages, the latter having a pretty
+large gathering of users.  He worked to improve many parts of XEmacs
+Lisp code, including isearch (FSF synch and new features), cl, edmacro
+\(FSF synch and an almost complete rewrite), profile, gnuserv,
+hyper-apropos, etags, about, and custom.
+
+He has worked on improving and optimizing the C core.  He ported many
+FSF core features such as indirect buffers, tty-erase-char,
+save-current-buffer and friends, debug-ignored-errors, etc.  He also
+wrote line numbering optimizations for large buffers, initial support
+for TTY frames, abbrev improvements, Lisp printer and reader
+improvements, support for extent modification functions, and lots of
+minor bugfixes, optimizations, and Muleifications.
+
+He contributed to Lispref and Internals documentation, including a
+section on writing Mule-compliant C code.  Maintains NEWS.  He
+participated on xemacs-beta since 1996 and on the Patch Review Board
+since its inception in 1998.\n"))
