Re: [pygame] Citing PyGame in papers

[Miriam English <mim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In academic papers, they often attribute a team effort like this:

Pete Shinners, et al.

"et al." is short for "et alia", which is Latin for "and others" 
(strictly speaking, "alii" is the plural of "other"). I'm pretty sure 
I've actually seen "et alia" on some papers too.

If you want to make it clearer and avoid the Latin (I'm all for clarity) 
then you might prefer something like:

Pete Shinners and others

Best wishes,
