Credit where credit is due...
* Michael Greene ([@webdes03](http://twitter.com/webdes03)) for the frequent helpful feedback and help managing the site when I'm tied up. Mike was also kind enough to create the project logo and certification icons. He's truly a part of the project team!
* The original idea for this library came from Mike Oryszak's blog post [Using jQuery to Update an Item Without A Form](http://nextconnect.blogspot.com/2009/06/using-jquery-to-update-item-without.html). This led to a [demo page](http://www.sympraxisconsulting.com/Demos/Demo%20Pages/ListsWebServiceUpdate.aspx) on our [demo site](http://www.sympraxisconsulting.com/Demos), then this library.
Other people who helped to inspire or inform (or just plain gave us some code to use!):
* [Paul Grenier’s “jQuery for Everyone” series on End User SharePoint](http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?s=jquery+for+everyone)

* [Waldek Mastykarz](http://blog.mastykarz.nl) for his post entitled [Extending Lookup Fields with “Add new item” option](http://blog.mastykarz.nl/extending-lookup-fields-add-new-item-option) which turned into the [$().SPServices.SPLookupAddNew](value-added/SPLookupAddNew.md) function.

* Paula Paul for great suggestions, enhancement requests, and real world testing.
* Jaap Vossers ([@jvossers](http://twitter.com/jvossers)) for code review and ongoing ideas on how to improve things.
* Anders Rask ([@AndersRask](http://twitter.com/AndersRask)) for [regex help](http://www.sharepointoverflow.com/questions/1152/regex-to-parse-script-tags) (I don't like regex so much most days).
