 =head1 Acknowledgements
 
-XXX The list of people to thank goes here.
+Perl 5.14.4 represents approximately 5 months of development since Perl 5.14.3
+and contains approximately 1,100 lines of changes across 44 files from 11
+authors.
+
+Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant community
+of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed the
+improvements that became Perl 5.14.4:
+
+Andy Dougherty, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A. Berry, Dave Rolsky, David
+Mitchell, Dominic Hargreaves, Father Chrysostomos, Florian Ragwitz, Reini
+Urban, Ricardo Signes, Yves Orton.
+
+The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated
+from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of
+the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug
+tracker.
+
+For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see
+the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution.
