Many discussions within the Démons team at LRI and the LogiCal project
influenced significantly the design of Coq especially with
J. Courant, P. Courtieu, J. Duprat, J. Goubault,
A. Miquel, C. Marché, B. Monate, B. Werner.
Intensive users suggested improvements of the system :

The Foundations Group (Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands),
Laboratoire J.-A. Dieudonné (University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis),
G. Gonthier (INRIA-MSR joint lab), A. Charguéraud (INRIA-Gallium project).
