Acknowledgements
Aidan Wilson, Jane Simpson and Fiona Blake have been doing a lot of work helping to prepare dictionaries to run in Wunderkammer. Aidan, Jane and David Nash have tested various versions of the software on their phones and provided many suggestions for improvements to the software along the way.
Elwin Cross designed the default corroboree frog theme for Wunderkammer. The speaker and image icons in the default theme are slightly modified versions of sound and image mimetype icons from the Crystal project. The animated spinning wheel on the loading screen is from netlife. Kaurna Warra Pintyandi gave me permission to use portions of the data from the Kaurna electronic dictionary in the Wunderkammer demo.
Stephen Merity added support for custom sort orders and debugged the XML import routine. Dmitry Idiatov has found and squashed bugs in the Wunderkammer MIDlet and wkimport and developed code for custom input methods in the Wunderkammer MIDlet.
