Śrī Gaṇeśajī took up the charge of noting down the dictation of the Vedas on the condition that Vyāsadeva would not stop dictation for a moment.
Srila Prabhupada - "Vyāsadeva is known as Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa-dvaipāyana, Dvaipāyana, Satyavatī-suta, Pārāśarya, Parāśarātmaja, Bādarāyaṇa, Vedavyāsa, etc.

The Brahma-sūtras—the Vedānta-sūtras, or Bādarāyaṇa-sūtras—were compiled by him.

The Mahābhārata was thus compiled by the joint endeavor of Vyāsa and Gaṇeśa." (SB, Canto 1 Ch 9 text...
