 \section{Acknowledgement}
 
-\CRANpkg{RProtoBuf} was originally written in 2009 by Romain
-Fran\c{c}ois and Dirk Eddelbuettel.  The authors would particularly
-like to thank Romain for his initial implementation and continued
-design discussions. Several features of this package are based
-on the design of the \CRANpkg{rJava} package by Simon Urbanek
-(dispatch on new, S4 class structures using external pointers). We'd
-like to thank Simon for his indirect involvment on
-\CRANpkg{RProtoBuf}.  The user defined table mechanism, implemented by
-Duncan Temple Lang for the purpose of the \pkg{RObjectTables}
-package allowed the dynamic symbol lookup. Many thanks to Duncan for
-this amazing feature.  Kenton Varda was generous with his time in
-reviewing code and explaining obscure protocol buffer semantics.  Karl
-Millar and Jeroen Ooms were helpful in reviewing code or offering
-suggestions.  Saptarshi Guha's contemporaneous work on \pkg{RHIPE} was a
-strong motivator.
